<![CDATA[Pactum de compromittendo is an agreement by which parties consent to submit disputes that may arise from a legal relationship to arbitration. This clause plays an essential role in arbitration law because it establishes the jurisdiction of arbitrators before a dispute occurs. This article examines the concept of pactum de compromittendo, the validity of arbitration clauses, and their legal consequences for the jurisdiction of courts in dispute resolution. The research employs normative juridical methods using statutory and conceptual approaches. The primary legal materials consist of Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution, the Indonesian Civil Code, and relevant legal literature. The study finds that pactum de compromittendo constitutes an expression of the principles of freedom of contract and competence-competence. A valid arbitration clause binds the parties and provides the legal basis for arbitrators to examine and decide disputes. Its existence, in principle, limits the jurisdiction of district courts to adjudicate disputes that the parties have agreed to resolve through arbitration. Therefore, arbitration clauses must be drafted clearly, in writing, and in accordance with the parties’ intention to prevent legal uncertainty.]]>
