ARBITRATION IN DISPUTES OVER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC PROCUREMENT (COMPARATIVE STUDY)

Open access
Bouzidi, Khalid·2025·Journal of Law and Sustainable Development

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to clarify the nature and specificity of arbitration in disputes related to the implementation of international public procurement, both in terms of the justifications for resorting to it, and in terms of the basis of its legitimacy within the framework of the provisions of the Civil and Administrative Procedures Law and the Civil Law regulating international commercial arbitration, on the one hand, and to compare it with the Public Procurement Law, on the other hand, and to extract the extent of its compatibility and effectiveness in settling disputes arising therefrom. Methods: The historical approach was adopted to address the stages of historical development of the subject of arbitration in disputes over the implementation of international public contracts, in addition to the analytical approach with the aim of delving into the research as deeply as possible by collecting data and information contained in legal texts, judicial rulings and jurisprudential opinions, and analyzing, linking and harmonizing them. Meanwhile, the comparative approach was used to clarify the points of agreement and disagreement in some comparative legislation, particularly in Algeria and France. Results and Discussion: This study presents solutions to enhance recourse to arbitration in disputes related to the implementation of international public procurement, particularly by strengthening the will of the parties at various stages of arbitration, so that they have a decisive role in determining arbitration procedures. It also supports this legal mechanism with guarantees for the benefit of the foreign economic operator within the scope of its legal relationship with the contracting authority, and regulates it by including it in independent legal texts that reflect its importance. Conclusion: The researcher attempted to shed light on the issue of arbitration in disputes related to the implementation of international public contracts, as one of the most important alternative means, given its numerous advantages that encourage parties to the transaction to resort to it to resolve disputes related to their financial rights arising during the implementation phase, by examining its concept, its legitimacy and effectiveness, and the controls that govern and regulate it.

TL;DR

This comparative legal study examines whether arbitration is legitimate and effective for disputes arising from the implementation of international public procurement, focusing on Algerian and French law. It argues that arbitration is now permitted for such disputes but remains constrained by limited independent regulation, a financial-rights-only scope, and procedural controls.

Key findings

  • Arbitration in disputes over the implementation of international public procurement has not received independent legal regulation in most comparative legislations, including Algeria; most regulate it through civil procedure and civil law texts despite the specificity and importance of this type of dispute.
  • Comparative legislation, including Algeria’s, shifted from the principle that public persons may not resort to arbitration toward allowing arbitration in this type of dispute, but restrictions remain, such as requiring approval of the Government Council to resort to arbitration under Algerian Presidential Decree No. 15-247, Article 153.
  • The subject of the arbitration agreement in these disputes is limited to financial rights only under Article 1006 of the Algerian Code of Civil and Administrative Procedure and Article 2060 of the French Civil Code, excluding disputes not related to the parties’ financial rights.
  • The will of the parties plays a decisive role in determining arbitration procedures; under Article 1019 of the Algerian Code of Civil and Administrative Procedure, the arbitration dispute is formed according to procedures before administrative judicial authorities unless the parties agree otherwise.

Methods

  • The study uses a historical approach to trace stages of arbitration in disputes over international public contracts, an analytical approach to legal texts, judicial rulings, and jurisprudential opinions, and a comparative approach to legislation, particularly Algeria and France.
  • The analysis draws on legal texts, judicial rulings, and jurisprudential opinions rather than an empirical sample or dataset.

Limitations

  • The paper states that changing the position of comparative legislation, including Algeria’s, toward allowing arbitration carries challenges, especially by easing restrictions that limit the will of the parties to resort to international arbitration, such as requiring Government Council approval.
  • The paper states that arbitration in this area has not received independent legal regulation in most comparative legislations, including Algeria.
  • Evident from the text: the study is a doctrinal and comparative legal analysis focused on Algeria and France, with no empirical data, sample, or quantitative outcomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-23.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-23.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
