The World

If an international trade dispute occurs, so that the ways of resolution can be reached through non-litigation (alternative litigation) or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The facilities classified as ADR other than Arbitration facilities as contained in Article 6 of Law No. 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution which includes facilities including Meditation facilities, Negotiation facilities, Consolidation facilities, and other facilities. Based on the Arbitration Law it provides an opportunity to resolve trade disputes through the Arbitration institution and it is very appropriate if this institution has a very important role in resolving disputes that occur in the world of international trade. The scope of disputes which can be tried in a trial of the International Commercial Arbitration institution must be related to the issue of trade, finance and general trading (commerce), while those relating to other matters have nothing to do at all.

AbstractThis article critiques the global concern that international commercial arbitration (ICA) is becoming increasingly ‘judicialized’, addressing the growing sentiment in ICA that arbitral proceedings are too lengthy, expensive, and complex. Assuming a contrarian perspective, it argues that attempts to address the cost and length of arbitration proceedings ought not to undermine the value of finely reasoned arbitral decisions grounded in law and justice. It also argues for a contextual assessment of ICA that extends beyond the debate over ‘judicialization’.Using global illustrations and ICA developments in Australia as an initial guide, this article suggests that balancing party autonomy, accountability, efficiency,andfairness in ICA can help resolve these growing criticisms of ‘judicialization’. Ultimately, the reform of international arbitration should take place within a framework of ‘international best practice’ that is both analytical in nature and functional in operation. As such, ICA should not only be affordable and expeditious, it should serve as a legitimate and effective method of resolving international commercial disputes. In addition, it should balance the virtue of transparent proceedings against the need to respect the confidences of the parties.

Oil And Gas Sector

Hydrocarbons projects involve multiple parties, including sovereign states and corporations, to operate expensive, complex and high-risk activities. Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is often preferred more by the parties than litigation to ensure the smooth running of the projects. ADR refers to all mechanisms of dispute settlement other than litigation such as negotiation, mediation, adjudication, and arbitration. The Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC) or formerly known as the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration (KLRCA) is the main institution that administers and resolves all commercial arbitration disputes in Malaysia. This research argues that, due to the technicalities and complexity of operations in the oil and gas sector, there is a need to set up a special arbitration centre for oil and gas under the AIAC to handle and resolve the industrial disputes. Furthermore, by establishing the centre, it can help to promote the AIAC as the choice of arbitration hub, especially within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). In doing so, it is necessary to pass a special legal framework to enable the establishment of the centre. It may function as a roadmap by the key players of the oil and gas sector to recourse in resolving disputes. The methodology employed by this research is carried out in a prescriptive, comparative and analytic manner.

International Commercial Arbitration although enjoying a long pedigree, has only recently become a "hot topic." This is due to the growing trends towards institutionalizing and unifying ICA processes. These trends are signified by the rise in private, neutral arbitration institutions and by the adoption, in many states, of international conventions and model laws. The unification of laws is the most recent process in this trend. These trends are all examined in some detail. It is noted how the lex arbitri, or law of the situs of the arbitration, can affect the rules and procedures of the arbitration. The UNCITRAL Model Law is examined as the key example of the unification of laws movement. The alternative dispute resolution provision of NAFTA is also commented on. The authors then focus specifically on Canada's contributions to and participation in ICA. In an important closing section, Canadian jurisprudence interpreting the new Canadian ICA legislation is comprehensively surveyed. The authors conclude by giving an outlook on the future of ICA and Canada's role therein.

Abstract This article, which is intended for arbitration practitioners, demonstrates that international arbitration as a subset of the field of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) offers a useful toolkit for the expeditious resolution of international intellectual property law disputes. The article demonstrates how the theory and practice of international arbitration is particularly well poised to address some of the specific considerations and requirements of paramount concern to the international intellectual property lawyers and their clients. The article will explain how the inherent features of the international arbitration legal landscape combine to indicate that it should be considered as the preferred method of ADR and explain how each of these features can provide both time and cost efficiencies. The article will identify the legal reasoning behind the benefits inherent to choosing international arbitration and will also address those circumstances when international arbitration may be precluded or otherwise considered unsuitable for intellectual property matters. The article examines several distinct benefits that international arbitration uniquely offers to international intellectual property law users and highlights some areas of the field that require additional caution.

Commercial Disputes

This chapter presents some thoughts on international arbitration. It begins with brief descriptions of the New York Convention and the UNCITRAL Model Law, which serve as the foundations of international dispute resolution. It then discusses arbitration agreements, the role of institutions, the role of law, and the disadvantages of arbitration. It argues that international commercial arbitration has become much more like that of the London Commercial Court; more often than not lawyers are called in from the outset. Pleadings, discovery, and the like are commonplace. The arbitral process has also become more expensive, notwithstanding substantial efforts by arbitral institutions and others to limit costs. It further suggests that where the tribunal considers that the dispute can be dealt with fairly and more cheaply without the full panoply of such legal procedures as the parties’ lawyers propose, that they make certain that the parties themselves, not just their lawyers, are made aware of the tribunal’s view.

Commercial Disputes

On 26th of June, 2018, at its 51th session, the UN Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) announced the completion of two important documents — a draft United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation, as well as the draft amendments to the UNCITRAL Model L aw on International Commercial Conciliation (2002) that, to a large extent, repeats the provisions of the draft Convention. It is expected that after its approval by the UN General Assembly on August 1, 2019, the Convention will be open for signature and, if ratified by a significant number of States, will play an important role in increasing the attractiveness of this method of dispute settlement to the international business community, allowing it to compete with international commercial arbitration.In this regard, the article attempts to analyze the main provisions of this Convention and to assess the feasibility of accession to it of the Russian Federation, taking into account the fact that currently in Russia this method of settlement of cross-border commercial disputes is not widespread. According to the results of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that the adoption of this Convention will create a basis for the enforcement of international agreements reached as a result of mediation and acceptable for States with different legal, social and economic conditions, while maintaining the inherent flexibility of this method of dispute resolution. This, in turn, will reduce the likelihood of parties to cross-border commercial disputes going to court or international commercial arbitration after mediation and, accordingly, will increase the attractiveness of this method of dispute resolution for the parties.
