• ENGLISH: ARBITRATION - Arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), is a legal technique for the resolution of disputes outside the courts, where the parties to a dispute refer it to one or more persons (the "arbitrators", "arbiters" or "arbitral tribunal"), by whose decision (the "award") they agree to be bound. It is a settlement technique in which a third party reviews the case and imposes a decision that is legally binding for both sides. Other forms of ADR include mediation (a form of settlement negotiation facilitated by a neutral third party) and non-binding resolution by experts. Arbitration is often used for the resolution of commercial disputes, particularly in the context of international commercial transactions. The use of arbitration is also frequently employed in consumer and employment matters, where arbitration may be mandated by the terms of employment or commercial contracts.
  Arbitration can be either voluntary or mandatory (although mandatory arbitration can only come from a statute or from a contract that is voluntarily entered into, where the parties agree to hold all disputes to arbitration, without knowing, specifically, what disputes will ever occur) and can be either binding or non-binding. Non-binding arbitration is, on the surface, similar to mediation. However, the principal distinction is that whereas a mediator will try to help the parties find a middle ground on which to compromise, the (non-binding) arbitrator remains totally removed from the settlement process and will only give a determination of liability and, if appropriate, an indication of the quantum of damages payable.

• FRENCH (FRANÇAIS) - ARBITRAGE: LL'arbitrage est un mode alternatif de résolution des conflits, dans lequel un arbitre intervient pour prendre des décisions qui engagent les deux parties qui font appel à ses services. C'est un mode non étatique de règlement des litiges.
  L'arbitrage est un mode de résolution des conflits par l'intermédiaire d'un tribunal arbitral composé d'un ou plusieurs arbitres (en général trois). L'arbitre est un véritable juge dont la décision s'impose aux plaideurs. L'arbitrage permet donc de régler un litige (sans passer par les tribunaux de l'État mais par une juridiction arbitrale), en confiant le différend à un ou plusieurs particuliers choisis par les parties.

• SPANISH (ESPAÑOL) - ARBITRAJE (DEREJO): El arbitraje, en Derecho, es una forma de resolver un litigio sin acudir a la jurisdicción ordinaria.
  Las partes, de mutuo acuerdo, deciden nombrar a un tercero independiente, denominado árbitro, y que será el encargado de resolver el conflicto. El árbitro, a su vez, se verá limitado por lo pactado entre las partes para dictar el laudo arbitral. Deberá hacerlo conforme a la legislación que hayan elegido las partes, o incluso basándose en la simple equidad, si así se ha pactado.
  Cuando un arbitraje se ajusta a la legalidad, sustituye completamente a la jurisdicción ordinaria, que deberá abstenerse de conocer el litigio. Sin embargo, sí que será necesario acudir a la misma (a través de la acción ejecutiva) cuando sea necesaria la intervención de las autoridades para hacer cumplir el laudo arbitral.
  Entre las ventajas del arbitraje se encuentran su celeridad, su flexibilidad y el hecho de que se pueden pactar los costes con anterioridad.
