Rigorous control of the process by the tribunal
The arbitrator has the right to question a party about unexplained facts and clarify their legal positions, without departing from the rule of objectivity or formulating new arguments for the parties.
It is not the task of the arbitrator to "force the parties to peace", but the arbitrators can help to promote the emergence of agreements between the parties, as well as encourage the parties to find a compromise and, to some extent ( by choice of the parties) help to formulate one.
