Arbitration is a method of resolving disputes outside of traditional court proceedings. It involves parties submitting their dispute to one or more neutral arbitrators who make a binding decision based on the evidence presented.
In mediation, a neutral third party facilitates negotiations between the disputing parties to reach a voluntary settlement. Arbitration, on the other hand, results in a binding decision made by an arbitrator after considering evidence and arguments.
Expert determination involves an independent expert providing a non-binding opinion on a specific issue. In contrast, arbitration leads to a legally binding decision that resolves the entire dispute.
Litigation refers to resolving disputes through court proceedings. Arbitration offers a more private, flexible, and efficient process, with decisions made by arbitrators rather than judges.
No, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) does not provide legal advice or administer arbitrations. Its mandate does not extend to participation in public or private disputes.
