Legal Protection for Foreign Parties in the Indonesian National Arbitration Board Forum

Abstract

Arbitration has become an important mechanism in resolving international business disputes, with BANI often chosen as a forum by foreign parties. However, the participation of foreign entities faces challenges in legal protection, both in terms of substance and procedure. This article examines the ability of Indonesia's legal system to protect foreign parties in BANI arbitration, as well as the obstacles in ensuring legal equality. Using a normative approach and literature review, it finds that while the legal framework is generally supportive, its implementation often does not align with international standards. Policy reformulation and institutional strengthening are deemed essential to ensure legal certainty and justice.
