ИСТИНА

The widespread use of information and communication technologies in international trade led to the emergence of a new type in this trade, which has become known as the international e-commerce. As the volume of contracts concluded through the Internet and international e-business has increased, conflicts and disputes have arisen therefrom. For this reason, there must be an alternative electronic judicial mechanism to resolve disputes resulted from contracts signed and transactions carried out electronically. There for, the idea of electronic arbitration has arisen, a mechanism that is characterized by procedures’ ease, sentencing speed, flexibility and simplicity that do not exist in ordinary arbitration. The study aims at demonstrating the effectiveness of international electronic arbitration in the settlement of international electronic disputes. The main question of the research is “the extent to which international e-arbitration can resolve e-commerce disputes”. This leads to question the nature and the characteristics of the international e-arbitration, the legal system that should be applied, the confession and implementation of the e- arbitral award. The study used the analytical, the comparative and the legal methods. The research is divided into two sections: First topic: The concept and the characteristics of the international e-arbitration. Second topic: the procedures of the international electronic arbitration and the implementation of the international arbitration award.
