Discussion and Evaluation in UNCITRAL Regarding Procedural Rules for Disputes in International e-Commerce - Focused on the Discussion in the 26th Session of Working Group Ⅲ -

Recently, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) has made progress toward resolving low value, high volume disputes in international e-commerce. At the Working Group’s 26th session, two draft procedural rules were addressed. The first discussed the draft of Article 9, entitled Decision by a neutral party. This is based on the suggestion in 26th session to have a two track system of ODR, one including negotiation, facilitated settlement, and arbitration phrases, and the other not including an arbitration phase. The second draft procedural rule, draft Article 10, regards the language of proceedings. In most cases of international e-commerce, the decision of language of an ODR proceeding is a matter of importance, for the language parties could differ from each other. This paper examines several implications of UNCITRAL for Korea, which has unstable ODR system.
