What is the legal framework for resolving an international dispute?

The legal framework for resolving an international dispute in Utah is based on the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). This body of law sets out the general principles and rules that countries must adhere to when entering into international business transactions and negotiating contracts, and also governs the resolution of disputes. When an international dispute arises, UNCITRAL models can be used to try to resolve the dispute. This includes negotiation, a formal process for attempting to negotiate an agreement between the parties. If that fails, the parties may agree to arbitration as a form of alternative dispute resolution. Arbitration is a voluntary, private, confidential and binding resolution process that allows the parties the chance to come to an agreement without having to go to court. Another option is to take the dispute to an international court. This might be the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the world court of the United Nations; the United Nations International Tribunal, which hears disputes between states; or the World Trade Organization Arbitration Panel, which handles disputes between members of the World Trade Organization. Finally, in some cases it may be necessary for the dispute to be resolved in a national court. Each state has its own laws and courts that apply when business transactions and contracts are executed within their jurisdiction. In Utah, the legal framework for resolving international disputes in a court of law is governed by the Utah International Business Law Act of 2008.
