This article examines the dispute settlement mechanisms under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) through a comparative legal analysis. The study aims to assess how both frameworks regulate international commercial disputes and promote legal certainty in cross-border trade relations. Employing a doctrinal and comparative legal approach, this research analyzes treaty provisions, institutional structures, procedural stages, and enforcement mechanisms governing dispute resolution under RCEP and the WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding. The findings indicate that while the WTO provides a more institutionalized and legally binding mechanism, RCEP emphasizes flexibility, consultation, and regional consensus. This article argues that RCEPs dispute settlement mechanism may complement the WTO framework by offering an alternative forum for resolving international commercial disputes, particularly within the Asia-Pacific region.

This study demonstrates that the WTO dispute settlement mechanism remains the most institutionalized and legally authoritative framework, offering a high degree of legal certainty.In contrast, RCEP adopts a more flexible and cooperation-oriented approach prioritizing consultation and consensus among member states.The coexistence of both systems reflects a pluralistic model of international trade governance, where global and regional frameworks jointly contribute to the stability and effectiveness of international commerce.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengkaji efektivitas mekanisme penyelesaian sengketa RCEP secara empiris melalui studi kasus dan analisis data, mengingat mekanisme ini relatif baru. Selain itu, penelitian dapat difokuskan pada bagaimana mekanisme penyelesaian sengketa RCEP dapat diintegrasikan dengan sistem penyelesaian sengketa WTO untuk menciptakan pendekatan yang lebih komprehensif dan koheren dalam tata kelola perdagangan internasional. Terakhir, penting untuk meneliti dampak mekanisme penyelesaian sengketa RCEP terhadap negara-negara berkembang dan pelaku bisnis kecil, serta bagaimana mekanisme ini dapat disesuaikan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dan kapasitas mereka, sehingga memastikan akses yang adil dan merata terhadap keadilan perdagangan.
