The Kyoto Congress Ancillary Meeting “The Rule of Law and International Arbitration / Mediation”
We are delighted to invite you to an event to discuss "The Rule of Law and International Arbitration / Mediation” co-hosted by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), the Japan Federation of Bar Associations (JFBA), and the Japan Association of Arbitrators (JAA) on the occasion of the Kyoto Congress (14th United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice). It is the largest international conference on crime prevention and criminal justice to be held in Japan for the first time in 50 years.
The need to develop fair and impartial adjudication processes is not unique to the field of criminal justice. To further promote good governance in an economically interdependent world, it is broadly felt that there is a need to further strengthen due process, fairness and impartiality in civil and commercial dispute resolution while achieving increased efficiency. Catering for such needs, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) including international arbitration and mediation has become increasingly recognized to be means conducive to achieving cost-effective, swift and flexible settlements of international commercial disputes.
We have arranged for presentations on international arbitration and mediation in Japan by leading experts in the field and an opportunity for discussions with participants, with a view to further enhancing the Rule of Law in the world.
We welcome you to join us to discuss the promotion of international arbitration and mediation from a Rule of Law perspective.
