To ensure effectiveness of dispute resolution such as arbitration, underlying laws should
be in harmony with international standards and cater the existing development
developments. Indonesian arbitration law, the Law No. 30 of 1999 on Arbitration and
Alternative Dispute Resolution [“AADR Law”], has remained the same since 1999
regardless there have been significant developments and evolution of the arbitration
practice. Only after more than two decades there is finally an attempt to fill in the gaps
existing in the AADR Law. This attempt came from the Supreme Court by issuing the
Supreme Court Regulation No. 3 of 2023. The regulation provides more clarity
regarding the appointment of arbitrators, right of recusal, and the examination of
enforcement and annulment of arbitral awards. This article will showcase how these
changes may affect the practice of arbitration in Indonesia.
