How Dispute Settlement Mechanism of ASEAN Work?


As economic cooperation has expanded, having an effective mechanism to resolve disputes arising between member countries has become an essential need. Therefore, since 1996, ASEAN has started drafting a Protocol on Dispute Settlement Mechanism, and this Protocol was signed by ASEAN Economic Ministers on November 20, 1996 in Manila (Philippines).


The dispute settlement mechanism of ASEAN is built on the spirit of negotiation and mediation. At any time, Member States which are parties to the dispute have the right to choose forms of mediation. These forms may begin or end at any time. Only when the procedure for mediation  has ended, the complainant proceeded to bring the matter to the Senior Economic Officials Meeting of ASEAN (SEOM). While the dispute is in progress, if the parties to the dispute agree, mediation procedures will continue to apply.

SEOM will set up a panel or, if possible, refer the matter to the special rules and procedures team or additional for review. However, in specific cases, if deemed necessary, SEOM may decide to resolve the dispute amicably without having to appoint a panel.

SEOM will review the panel report during its discussion and give a decision to the dispute within thirty (30) days from the date the panel submitted the report. In exceptional cases, SEOM may have an additional ten (10) days in adjudicating a dispute. SEOM representatives of Member States who are parties to the dispute may be present If the consultation does not resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days of the receipt of the request, the matter will be referred to SEOM. during the discussion but may not participate in judgments of SEOM. SEOM will adjudge on a majority basis.

Member States that are parties to the dispute may appeal the judgments of SEOM to the ASEAN Economic Ministers (“AEM”) within thirty (30) days. AEM must make a decision within thirty (30) days of the appeal. In exceptional cases, AEM may have an additional ten (10) days to make a decision on dispute resolution.
