As a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), arbitration is a fundamental concept in the legal landscape, particularly in issues relating to international commercial disputes and transactions. With globalization nurturing in an integrated global sphere, international arbitration is increasingly used to solve legal challenges across borders.
