Abstract When the parties choose Indonesia as the seat of arbitration, one might inquire whether Indonesian legal system is in conformity with the doctrines that developed in the field of international commercial arbitration. To fulfill that purpose, this paper discusses: (1) under the umbrella of severability doctrine, the agreement to arbitrate or arbitration clause is not classified as an accessory to the principal contract; and (2) the competence-competence doctrine is not adopted perfectly on the account of the question whether the tribunal can decide on its own jurisdiction is not explicitly touched.

The Law

The arbitration clause implies the agreement of the parties' will to concede (assign) the existing or future dispute into arbitration, thus, in accordance with the law, the inevitable basis is to establish the referee's authority and jurisdiction and the influence of his/her verdict. Therefore, the formation of a court of arbitration and the issuance of a ruling requires that the existence and the validity of the contract of referral the matter to arbitration is acceptable to the parties. Although the parties may find a dispute (difference) in the existence and validity of the arbitration agreement, it is also likely that one of the parties denies or invalidates the existence of the arbitration agreement. In such a hypothesis, the formation of an arbitration authority and its review will entail consideration of the dispute before it. For this reason, one of the important issues that may arise in arbitration is the determination of the competent authority dealing with a dispute that may arise between the parties as to the existence or validity of the arbitration convention or jurisdiction. The issue of competency assessment (Competence - Competence), which improves the efficiency of the arbitral institution, can be seen in the most legal systems. Whether the arbitral tribunal has the merit of deciding whether to qualify under the terms of the arbitral agreement is a question that has long been addressed in the arbitration law as the competence to determine jurisdiction

Arbitration Clause

The powers of arbitrators in international commercial arbitration are based on the agreement of the parties, usually set forth in an arbitration clause contained in a contract between the parties or in a separate agreement to arbitrate. Increasingly, however, arbitrators are exercising powers that are not derived specifically from a party agreement, but rather may be implied or inherent. The terms ‘implied’ and ‘inherent’ are frequently used rather loosely, and sometimes interchangeably. This chapter develops a framework for understanding and using the terms, so that parties, arbitrators, and courts can employ common meanings and concepts when considering arbitral powers. Implied and inherent powers, properly exercised, can help ensure that the arbitral process fulfils its promise of providing a fair, ethical, and reasonable way to resolve disputes.

The One

The participation of developing countries in the international legal system poses a perennial dilemma. On the one hand the brutal facts of international economic and commercial interdependence make such participation inevitable. On the other hand, developing countries, for various reasons and with varying degrees of intensity, have articulated their reservations, or indeed experienced considerable difficulties, with respect to such participation. This article considers this dilemma with special reference to the experience of Sub-Saharan African countries in international commercial arbitration.

Commercial Disputes

 International commercial arbitration is a special judicial system based primarily on an agreement, be it an arbitration clause or an arbitration agreement (compromise), between parties to a dispute. It is therefore a system aiming at settling commercial disputes by submitting them to a single arbitrator, or an arbitral panel, or an arbitral tribunal (e. g. , the International Court of Arbitration). It is therefore also a means for settling an existing or future dispute that entails refraining from resorting to the competent judiciary. It is also an extra – judicial action aiming at establishing justice between people. The aim of arbitration is to bring justice to parties in conflict, but it is also designed to preserve peace among them, by providing solutions that are deemed satisfactory by each party, and through direct confrontation. It is a technical means for peaceful cooperation between countries with different systems. Resorting to international commercial arbitration is intended to solve a dispute based on a desire for reconciliation, to thereby avoid private retribution, without waiving the protection of the law, although it does entail waiver of state judges’ jurisdiction to rule over the dispute, since the parties choose their own judge. This type of Arbitration is called “international” if it relates to international commercial interests. Arbitration is also used in other areas, e. g. , personal status and tribal arbitration in Iraq. However, our study concentrates on international commercial arbitration and the possible application thereof in Iraq.
