Abstract

The globalization of cross-border construction projects increases the need for legal certainty and uniformity in the arrangement of international construction contracts. Differences in national legal systems, the complexity of long-term projects, and the dynamics of technical and economic risks often lead to contractual imbalances and potential disputes. In this context, UNCITRAL plays an important role through the development of soft law international legal instruments, especially the UNCITRAL Legal Guide on Drawing Up International Contracts for the Construction of Industrial Works, which provides a principled normative framework for the design of international construction contracts. This study aims to analyze the role of UNCITRAL in the standardization of international construction contracts and examine the implementation of these principles in construction contract practices in Indonesia, taking into account the development of national contract standards regulated in the Regulation of the Government Goods/Services Procurement Policy Institute Number 4 of 2024 and the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Number 25 of 2020. The research method used is normative legal research with a legislative, conceptual, and analytical approach to UNCITRAL instruments and relevant national regulations. The results show that UNCITRAL functions as a normative framework that emphasizes procedural clarity, proportionate risk allocation, contract adaptation to changing circumstances, and a tiered dispute resolution mechanism.

Abstract

Construction projects inherently involve the public sphere because their outcomes directly impact community safety, welfare, and access to public facilities. Consequently, the fulfillment of constitutional rights—particularly the principles of equality before the law under Article 27(1) of the 1945 Constitution and legal certainty under Article 28D(1)—is essential to ensure that development is carried out fairly. This article examines how these rights are realized or potentially violated through two key regulatory instruments: construction contracts and building permit processes. Using a normative juridical method supported by statutory analysis, doctrinal review, and comparative reference to FIDIC Red Book 2017, the study identifies common sources of constitutional risk such as ambiguous technical specifications, unclear brand corridors, incomplete designs, and procedurally defective permits. The article concludes that strengthening contract documents, enhancing transparency of permitting procedures, and ensuring accountable public oversight are crucial for safeguarding constitutional rights in equitable development.

Abstract

The article aims to identify legal issues and legal solutions that affect legal protection for foreign investment in infrastructure and downstream projects in Indonesia. The analysis uses a systematic literature review method. The focus of the analysis lies in four areas: (1) enforcement of arbitral awards (New York Convention 1958; Law 30/1999), (2) the position of arbitration (seat), lex arbitri, and the standard of "public order", (3) the division of contractual risks in GPBU/EPC/O&M (change-in-law, tax gross-up, step-in lender, termination/compensation, government guarantee, land acquisition), and (4) BIT/ISDS as an additional layer of protection. Although the results show a more pro-enforcement tendency, key problems remain: flexible interpretation of "public order", slow and formalistic exequatur, undisciplined seat selection, inconsistency in clauses in contract documents, inconsistencies in land procurement, and unclear reasons and regressions in government guarantees. This article provides several legal options. The first is a judicial guideline that aims to reduce "public order" and avoid reassessing the subject matter. The second is the standardization of exequatur, which includes standards such as SLAs, file templates, and e-filing. The third is the recognition of short-term relief, which includes an emergency arbitrator. The fourth is the hygienic arbitration clause model, which includes changes in the law, seat, lex arbitri, consolidation, and joinder. The package reduces the risk of greater actions, speeds up the opening of financial accounts, and enhances the legal protection of foreign investors.
