In today's globalized world, where trade, commerce, and investments frequently involve parties from different jurisdictions, international arbitration is a valuable mechanism for resolving disputes. The choice to opt for international arbitration as a means of dispute resolution is often associated with its inherent advantages; that is, compared to litigation it is often faster, more cost-effective, and flexible, particularly when parties opt for expedited arbitration procedures. Moreover, the arbitration process is typically private and commonly conducted under conditions of confidentiality. Arbitration panels are composed of experts in the relevant field, known as arbitrators. More importantly for international transactions and parties, a pivotal advantage of international arbitration is that arbitral awards are final, binding, and directly enforceable in most countries around the world.
The forms that arbitration may assume depend on its underlying basis. Arbitrations stemming from contractual agreements are referred to as contractual arbitrations, which represent the most prevalent type in commercial disputes. Conversely, arbitrations grounded in statutory provisions are referred to as statutory-based arbitrations. Additionally, arbitrations can be rooted in international investment agreements (bilateral or multilateral).
