Abstract

Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines, have been sued by foreign investors through international investment arbitrations (IIA). No matter whether the outcome is favorable or not, those countries have spend significant time, energy, and financial resources to arbitrate. ASEAN countries are not in advantageous position in IIA.The first and the most obvious reason is language barrier. Arbitration proceedins are mainly conducted in English. Consequently, the arbitrators and counsels more often than not come from English speaking countries. Not only do they lead to high cost, but also they lack of familiarity with South East Asia’s social, politics, economic, culture and customs. This may influence how they treat the cases such as the interpretation of provisions specifically designed to protect foreign investors such as: national treatment; fair and equitable treatment; most favored nation; and also in deciding jurisdictional issues. regional news as a legal basis for foreign investment activities aim to provide protection for foreign investor. On the other hand, it also serves as a mean to facilitate economic development in the host states of investment. Unfortunately, BITs often contain excessive and limitless protection clauses in order to attract foreign investors. This may endanger host states position as it can be used as a weapon by the investors to sue the host states. In responding to this fact, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation among ASEAN members in dealing with foreign investors through BIT. The ideal picture will be that SEA is pro-market and pro-arbitration reform. It is unavoidable that in order to protect themselves from harsh investors as well as intricate arbitration, ASEAN would be better off having its own investment arbitration center run by its experts. Thus, the short-term challenge is to equip legal practitioners, business players and academicians with more knowledge, skills and experiences in dealing with investment disputes. The long-term step will be to negotiate model of investment treaties applicable in the region and to harmonize national investment laws. These efforts are strategic opportunities for ASEAN as single market to keep balance between promoting investment, protecting investors and the host states at the same time.

Abstract

Investment arbitration has been acclaimed as an important part of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) movement around the globe because it provides a neutral and trustable forum for settling investment dispute. However, many argue that investment arbitration often becomes advocates of foreign investors and neglect the developing country’s interests as the host of investment. This paper aims at studying the investment arbitration awards rendered by International Center for Settlement of Investment Dispute (ICSID) tribunals launched against developing countries. The question is whether and to what extent those awards have equally observed the interests of foreign investors and host states of investments. To answer the questions, this paper employs case study method and use publicly available ICSID cases. This research shows that some ICSID tribunals have inconsistent reasoning which led to contradictory decisions. Apparently, as some cases indicate ICSID tribunals gave more weight to the need to protect foreign investors rather than host countries’ development interests. As a consequence, inconsistency and ambiguity have led to uncertainty and unpredictability of the forum. This is not only disadvantaged the parties due to inability to foresee the likely outcome of the disputes but also endanger the ICSID tribunals’ credibility as neutral and reliable forum.

Abstract

The conception of “formal truth” in civil procedure is about to become a debate among academicians and practitioners because it is deemed no longer relevant to achieve justice. Modern paradigm begins to consider that this concept should be given similar interpretation with material truth theory adhered by criminal procedure. Konsep kebenaran formal dalam acara perdata mulai menjadi perdebatan di antara para akademisi dan praktisi karena dianggap sudah tidak lagi relevan dan jauh dari rasa keadilan. Paradigma saat ini mesti mulai mempertimbangkan bahwa konsep kebenaran formal harus diberi pengertian yang sama dengan konsep kebenaran material dalam acara pidana.

Abstract

Contract law enforcement matters since it is one of the indications used by the World Bank to determine ease of doing business.

Abstract

The issue of justice is a philosophical and contemporary issue. As a philosophical study, justice is examined from several schools of thoughts within the philosophy of law. This study focuses on the sociological jurisprudence discipline which basically states that law as a social norm which is inseparable from the values prevailing in a society because there is a close correlation between law and society. In relation to judicial authority, the denotation of justice in the judge's decision is that it should be in accordance with the law prevailing in the community. This research was conducted through the statute approach method by collecting and analyzing laws and regulations related to the focus of this study, complemented by a conceptual approach based on the legal principles found in the laws and regulations and legal doctrines. Thus, it is perceivable that the sociological jurisprudence is the synthesis of the dialectical studies between normative and positivist views on the legal findings made by judges by interpreting justice as an accord between judges' decisions and legal values living in the society.

Abstract

The actor sequitur forum rei principle is the primary basis for determining the relative competence of civil courts in countries that adopt civil law systems. In this article, the role of the actor sequitur forum rei will be examined theoretically by analyzing theories related to personal jurisdiction, categorization of jurisdiction, and procedural justice theory. The analysis results indicate that actor sequitur forum rei is founded on the theory of power and is classified as a "connected" jurisdiction with a general nature, as jurisdiction is linked to the defendant's domicile. It enables the defendant to be sued in the forum of their domicile at any time and for any reason. Additionally, according to procedural justice theory, actor sequitur forum rei is shown to provide the defendant with protective aspects.

Abstract

This article endeavors to seamlessly incorporate the teaching of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) directly into the framework of Clinical Legal Education (CLE), utilizing collaboration with esteemed dispute settlement institutions, notably the Indonesian Arbitration Center (BANI) and the Indonesian National Mediation Center (PMN). The imperative for such integration is underscored by the heightened demand for skilled arbitrators and mediators, given the ubiquitous inclusion of ADR clauses in nearly every contractual arrangement. In the contemporary legal landscape where ADR clauses have become standard practice for resolving disputes arising from contractual relationships, the professional roles of arbitrators and mediators are indispensable. The significance of this initiative lies in recognizing that the success of CLE in ADR in Indonesia necessitates a fundamental shift in the mindset of the legal community. It is asserted that the conventional teaching methods, traditionally confined to the classroom, are insufficient for the cultivation of skills pertinent to amicable dispute resolution. Thus, the article advocates for the active involvement of professional arbitrators and mediators, calling for their comprehensive integration and support not only within law school curricula but also in the broader community. This transformative approach aims to bridge the practical gap between theoretical instruction and real-world application, envisioning a legal education system that produces professionals adept at ethical and effective dispute resolution in Indonesia.

Abstract

Islam prioritises peace as a means of resolving disputes. Peace between parties can be achieved in various ways, one of which is mediation. Despite creating social justice, the effectiveness of mediation in resolving various complex civil cases is still questionable. This article aims to analyse the efficiency of resolving medical disputes through mediation based on the principles of Islamic law. This article is based on the results of normative juridical research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of this study found that the implementation of facilitative mediation by the mediator in medical dispute resolution helps improve its efficiency. Furthermore, before mediating conflicts, judge-mediators need to take a more proactive position, improve their communication skills, and have sufficient knowledge of health law. A well-informed mediator is likely to provide social justice for doctors and patients. Keywords: mediation; medical disputes; social justice; court.
