The Impact of International Commercial Arbitration in Resolving International Trade Disputes under Modern Algerian Legislation

International commercial arbitration has become one of the principal mechanisms for resolving disputes arising from international trade and investment activities. Its growing importance stems from its ability to provide parties with a dispute-resolution framework characterized by efficiency, procedural flexibility, confidentiality, and technical expertise, features that are often particularly valued in cross-border commercial relationships. This study examines the legal framework governing international commercial arbitration under Algerian legislation, with particular reference to Law No. 08-09 on Civil and Administrative Procedures and Investment Law No. 22-18. It analyzes the manner in which the Algerian legislator has regulated arbitration agreements and defined the scope of international commercial arbitration while seeking to reconcile the protection of national legal interests with the objective of attracting and encouraging foreign investment. The study further explores the influence of international legal instruments, notably the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, on the development of the Algerian arbitration regime. Particular attention is given to the procedural guarantees governing arbitral proceedings and to the extent to which the current legislative framework corresponds with contemporary developments in international commercial dispute resolution.
