Abstract

When it comes to arbitration, its one-step nature immediately comes to mind, and the possibility of appealing an arbitral award in the same court is doomed to be rejected. This feature has led to arbitration being considered as a faster and less expensive method for resolving international commercial disputes. However, in some arbitration systems, including the Iran–United States Claims Tribunal, the possibility of appeal has been foreseen in certain circumstances. This research aims to investigate the feasibility of appealing arbitral awards and analyze the limitations associated with it, with an emphasis on the awards of the Iran–United States Claims Tribunal. In this regard, the concept of appeal in international arbitration and its difference from similar concepts are examined, and the special position of appeal in the Iran–United States Claims Tribunal is analyzed. The results of the research, which were concluded in an analytical-descriptive manner, show that in certain cases, the Iran–United States Claims Tribunal have foreseen unique capacities for appealing awards.
