Abstract

This study aimed to explore the provisions related to the rules of electronic arbitration and the resolution of civil and commercial contract disputes through various arbitration institutions. The motivation behind the study stems from the fact that we are currently in a new era dominated by the information society. With the widespread use of information and communication technologies for conducting electronic work, forming contracts, and executing them via the Internet, attention shifted to utilizing these technologies for resolving disputes arising from these activities. This means that the dispute resolution process occurs through electronic media networks, eliminating the need for all parties to be physically present in one location. The study also reviewed the significant developments in electronic arbitration rules over recent years. It concluded that electronic arbitration emerged in commercial and civil matters, with specific laws being enacted to support it due to its positive impact on promoting domestic and international trade and investment, ultimately benefiting the economies of countries.
