Abstract

Although several international organisations work for world peace, recently not like ever before, several disputes between states are emerging. Russian-Ukraine war, the tension between China and Taiwan, the South China sea issues, the tension between South Korea and North Korea, and the Conflict of Armenia-Azerbaijan are a few to mention. Following the failure of the League of Nations, the UN was established for restoring world peace and security. Despite there are pros and cons with regard to the operation of the UN, it strives to play a material role in convincing states to adopt peaceful means for finding solutions to the issues they face. Negotiation, inquiry, fact-finding, conciliation, arbitration, and mediation are considered better peaceful means of conflict resolution for international disputes. According to the UN Charter, war is only allowed for just cause and as the last resort. Therefore, inter-state arbitration or arbitration among disputing states could be the ideal option for resolving international disputes. Hence, this study strives to investigate it. For this purpose, a qualitative method of research is adopted. If arbitration is promoted as the best means of dispute resolution among states, most of the problems would be settled peacefully with less damage to world peace and resources. Hence, this paper chooses selected international disputes, and strives to propose arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism that can make the impossible possible.
