Problems with the Annulment of Arbitral Awards in the Perspective of the Principle of Access to Justice

The annulment of arbitration awards in Indonesia has led to various issues affecting the effectiveness of the arbitration system, legal certainty, and the principle of access to justice for disputing parties. Although arbitration is intended to be a final and binding dispute resolution mechanism, inconsistent annulment practices by courts often undermine trust in the system. This study examines issues related to the annulment of arbitration awards, particularly how such annulments impact the principle of access to justice. Regulatory reforms are necessary to clarify the provisions governing grounds for annulment and to ensure that the principle of access to justice is maintained in arbitration.
