Abstract (2. Language): 
In the last century, arbitration has become an important method to resolve the disputes arising from international commercial disputes. Therefore many rules have been developed by different institutions or from different countries to enable to resolve the disputes in the most competent manner. To achieve this goal, the role of the arbitrators is undeniable. When it is looked at the different rules of the arbitral bodies such as International Chamber of Commerce Arbitration Rules, it can be clearly observed that while the court or institution is either choosing or confirming arbitrators, there are some qualifications they are looking for. The main problem is the question of who may be disqualified from acting as an arbitrator. There can be three headings (1) disqualification due to illegality or lack of capacity; (2) disqualification due to interest and disposition and (3) conventional disqualification2. In this essay we will discuss the second point. While discussing the independence and impartiality of the arbitrators, it will also be considered the impartiality of the party-appointed arbitrators. Finally, it will be discussed the consequences if the arbitrators are not impartial or independent, that is, to challenge the arbitrators.
