Istanbul Conference on International Dispute Resolution A Global Perspective

Istanbul Conference on International Dispute Resolution A Global Perspective Kısa Özet

Turkey enjoys a privileged historical, juridic, and geographical posture that suggests that it rightfully should be a leader in any effort contemplating the fashioning of a judicial culture premised upon a confluence of legal traditions. As of the date of this writing, the Ministry of Justice has made clear Turkey`s commitment to international commercial arbitration as both an instrumentality of that sovereign`s development and a reassurance published to the world of prospective investors in Turkey as a host-state that its judiciary has placed international commercial arbitration in pari materia with judicial recourse.

This embracing and promotion of international commercial arbitration has been undertaken by clearly understanding that there is a need to build a judicial rubric on the traditional ius civile and the ius gentium europeam so as to give rise to, as an ultimate expression of a judicial voice, a ius mundis or, put simply, a global law.
