Arbitration has become a strategic option for resolving commercial disputes in the Kingdom of Bahrain, not only for its speed and efficiency but also for the significant flexibility it offers the parties involved. At the heart of this flexibility lies the concept of the "amicable compositeur," a legal tool that allows the arbitrator to resolve disputes based on principles of justice and fairness, transcending the strict literal application of the law. This article reviews the role of the amicable compositeur in the Bahraini legal system, highlighting its relationship with international standards adopted by UNCITRAL and how the modern Bahraini Arbitration Law has reinforced this concept.

Bahrain's new Law No. (20) of 2025 significantly modernizes its justice system by expanding alternative penalties to imprisonment, focusing on offender rehabilitation and societal reintegration. Amending the 2017 law, it introduces novel measures like electronic restrictions (barring access to specific websites) and mandatory presence at designated locations. This shift, which centralizes implementation under the Ministry of Interior, aims to reduce reliance on traditional custodial sentences, align with international human rights standards, and provide the judiciary with more nuanced sentencing options, ultimately fostering a more rehabilitative approach to criminal justice.
