Issuing an award by the arbitral tribunal, having an impact on the whole proceeding, resolving a dispute, having jurisdictional character and finality of decision are the most important criteria in order to distinguish award from other tribunal decisions. Notwithstanding, beside these criteria, sometimes in this regard, it should be referred to award legal description has been done by the legislator. Although the first criterion is not particular one for recognition award but the second criterion has been used to recognize procedural order and, in this regard,, I think that Impact ability is enough. Indifference on the conception of dispute resolution has raised difference opinions on the nature of some decisions and types of award. When we use the jurisdictional character of decision either it refers to the judicial power of arbitral tribunal or to dispute resolution.

Arbitration is fundamentally an agreement to create private justice by non-state tribunal. In relation to the nature of arbitration, there is no consensus and the nature of this institution has been for a long-time subject to challenge and arguments for and against it. In this respect, there are four theories, contractual, jurisdictional, hybrid and independent natures. Each of these theories may have effects and different consequences on arbitration. Since the attitude of national courts towards international commercial arbitration affects arbitration proceedings, it is intended to deal with this question: As far as nature of arbitration is concerned, which of these four theories can be justified? The evaluation of four theories will be considered with respect to the nature and scope of arbitrators’ power, arbitration awards and choice of law. This article shows that arbitration has both contractual and judicial natures, which is a reflection of parties’ agreement and applicability of the law of the place in which the arbitration takes place. In this Theory, the contractual and jurisdictional elements are incorporated in each other.
