Empowering Arbitration for Resolving Environmental Disputes

Abstract

Environmental disputes are generally resolved through the courts, both civil and criminal. But rarely win in court, expensive and require a long time, while the pollution continues. However, the environmental dispute settlement out of court through arbitration is more advantageous because it takes a shorter time and can result in decisions that are win-win solution. However, arbitration is still less popular than other forms of ADR such as mediation. Therefore arbitration should be empowered to be more popular.
