The article is devoted to the analysis of the formation of a system of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in Serbia as one of the instruments stimulating the development of entrepreneurship and combating corruption. The author considers such nonjudicial legitimate methods of dispute resolution as negotiations of the parties, mediation, arbitration (binding arbitration) and the court of honor at the Economic chamber of Serbia, as well as other conciliation procedures. One of the main characteristic by which non-judicial methods of dispute resolution can be classified is the participation in them of third parties. The Serbian law relates to them participation of mediators in the reconciliation procedures, ombudsmen, state rights activists (authorized to protect the rights and interests of the state), judges, lawyers. Special attention is paid to mediation as a set of voluntary modes of settlement of the conflicting parties with the participation of third parties. The mediation is conducted on the good will of the conflicting parties by the mediator who seeks to resolve disputes through a settlement agreement. Under the law mediation can be realized by mediators, ombudsmen, state rights activists (authorized to protect the rights and interests of the state) who are trained by judges and lawyers. The article discusses the mechanism of pre-trial dispute settlement between the conflicting parties. Special attention is paid to the analysis of pre-trial settlement of disputes between parents of minor children decided to divorce. In Serbia an important role in the formation of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms of economic entities plays a chamber of Commerce of Serbia under which exists the court of honor and court of arbitration. Their competence includes the resolution of disputes through mediation.

The paper highlights the practice of pre-trial settlements in the sphere of construction in advanced countries of the world. Specific features of scientific theoretical approaches to dispute settlement in construction works have been substantiated. The international experience of advanced countries in application of the mechanisms for alternative dispute resolution has been analyzed, and a comprehensive research into international legal acts has been conducted. The vector of priority directions and ways to introduce the alternative mechanisms in the conditions of the Ukrainian state are determined. It is proposed to achieve the desired results by applying the discussed forms under administrative system reform. It is noted that today the Ukrainian state is only at the stage of creating an alternative dispute resolution model in construction. It is noted that the idea of introducing this practice in the domestic legal system is supported by a wide range of specialists. Such an interest corresponds to the desire of Ukraine to harmonize national legislation. It is grounded that the definition of priority directions and ways of introducing alternative mechanisms in the field of construction in Ukraine is to apply foreign experience in the context of reforming the modern political system, namely decentralization. It is the application of the proposed model that should be implemented at the state, regional and local levels, legally consolidate it and solve urgent problems. Such a systematization, in my opinion, will lead to a more objective and perfect settlement of disputes over a short period of time. It is noted that nowadays there is a considerable scientific interest in this issue, the expediency of using alternative mechanisms in the Ukrainian state is solved. However, this is a rather controversial issue, so there is a need for a comprehensive study of experience in foreign countries and the identification of priority areas and ways of applying experience in modern conditions in Ukraine.

The perceptions afforded by the study of legal pluralism assist an understanding of the full scope and the social and moral significance of alternative dispute resolution. The latter term includes all modes and forms of dispute resolution within the legal order of the state other than the usual forms of adjudication by the ordinary courts. These modes may be classified in relatively wide and fluid categories as other forms of adjudication, and arbitration, mediation and negotiation. However, alternative dispute resolution also includes instances of all these processes which are not established, adopted, or made effective by the state. The study of legal pluralism throughout the world shows that almost everywhere are many such instances, generated within many semi-autonomous social fields other than the state, and falling into all the listed categories. The study of legal pluralism further suggests that the different dispute settlement processes are likely to be associated with different bodies of legal norms. There is evidence that to some extent alternative state processes employ different bodies of laws. The evidence also shows that non-state processes employ bodies of norms which always differ, and may differ widely from those of state law. While legal centralism denies these norms the name of "laws", there seems no good reason not to classify such rules and principles, which order relations within social fields other than the state, as "customary law", or by some similar term. Alternative dispure resolution processes have been lauded as enhancing the effectiveness of the law, providing wider access to justice or law. However, if the argument presented here is correct, it is not sufficient to represent them as implementing "the law". Rather each implements a different variety of law. The social functions of these different laws of different dispute resolution processes, both state and non-state, vary, and so need investigation in each particular case. Whether any law is to be approved as affecting power relations in the society concerned is similarly a matter for investigation. While it has been suggested that alternative dispute resolution processes can confer on the weak and underprivileged an opportunity to assert their interests, it has been argued against such a view that they may provide opportunities for the already powerful to increase their powers, free of the restraining influence of regular state courts. On the other hand, state processes may at certain historical moments be manipulated by the weak to their advantage. Non-state processes may, also in special circumstances, empower collectively the members of the social fields in which they operate.


Conciliation and mediation have great potential to resolve investor-State disputes. Nonetheless, arbitration has significantly overshadowed these two forms of amicable dispute settlement processes. This disparity is slowly changing, and, in recent times, interest has grown in conciliation and mediation, particularly given the duration, complexity, and cost of investor-State arbitrations, as well as concerns as to the substantive content of investor-State arbitral decisions. No clear consensus has emerged regarding the precise definition of either conciliation or mediation. Given the substantial overlap between the two processes, they have often been referred to as functionally equivalent and interchangeable. The best way to identify conciliation or mediation is through close examination of the particular set of rules and practices at issue. But the two dispute settlement mechanisms are generally distinguishable. At its core, conciliation involves a sole conciliator or conciliation commission considering the respective positions of the disputing parties and making nonbinding recommendations for settlement. Conciliation rules typically have flexibility to accommodate other mediation techniques that share the same purpose and may require a conciliator or conciliation commission to produce a written evaluation of the parties’ respective legal positions. In comparison, mediation is a process in which a mediator (1) assists the parties to focus on their real interests rather than legal rights, (2) generally avoids making any merits-based evaluation of parties’ positions, and (3) facilitates a meaningful dialogue between the parties to reach an amicable settlement. Unlike arbitration, in which the disputing parties have no certainty over the arbitrators’ binding decisions, the success of both conciliation and mediation depends on the willingness and cooperation of the parties to reach a voluntary and agreed settlement. A settlement agreement resulting from a mediation or conciliation process may potentially be enforced under domestic laws or in states that have ratified the Singapore Convention on Mediation, an innovation in international dispute resolution that may increase interest in investor-State conciliation and mediation. The UNCITRAL Working Group III is presently considering whether and how to promote conciliation, mediation, and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms in reforms to the present system of investor-State dispute settlement.

<p><em>Recently, various types of disputes can arise in the community. In resolving these disputes, the disputing parties are given the freedom to choose the dispute resolution forum according to their wishes. Non-court dispute resolution schemes are strengthened by Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution. Juridically, the mechanism of brand dispute resolution can be done through litigation in the Commercial Court, as well as non-litigation by using an alternative mechanism for dispute resolution, either through arbitration, negotiation, mediation, conciliation, or other ways agreed upon by both parties of the dispute. The final result of the parties' dispute settlement agreement is resolution which is poured into a form of peace treaty made before a Notary. To see the position of the notarial deed in resolving disputes over brand deletions outside court, especially in the dispute over the "X" trademark between PT CPS and the inheritors of HK’s trademark, research is needed on the certainty of the enforceability and power to bind a peace agreement made before a Notary. In this study, the type of research used is normative legal research with law and case approach. From the result of this study, it can be concluded that the peace agreement between the parties was made in the form of a deed of peace before the Notary and binds the parties as a law for the parties and has perfect proof power.</em><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em></em></strong><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: </strong>Dewasa ini berbagai macam sengketa dapat timbul dalam masyarakat.

There is a tug of authority in resolving insurance disputes outside the court between the Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency (BPSK) based on Law Nomor 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection with Alternative Dispute Resolution Institutions (LAPS) based on Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014. This encourages the author to conduct legal research in order to determine the authority of BPSK in resolving insurance disputes as well as the legal consequences of the decision after the issuance of the Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014 using the statutory approach. This legal research results in the finding that BPSK is still authorized to settle insurance disputes following the issuance of the Financial Services Authority Regulation Number 1/POJK.07/2014, this is based on the provisions of the Lex superior derogat legi inferiori principle. Then there is no legal effect on the BPSK decision after the issuance of the Financial Services Authority Regulation. This is because BPSK's decision has been based on Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, whose position is higher than the Regulation of the Financial Services Authority. So there is no need for BPSK to follow the provisions of the regulations whose hierarchy of legislation is lower than the Consumer Protection Act. Therefore BPSK's decision is "final and binding" as explained in Article 54 paragraph 3 of the Consumer Protection Act.
