Qatari junior lawyers on Saturday opened the Qatar Law Forum (JLF) 2017 with a debate on the varying effectiveness of the different legal methods available to resolve international disputes.
Drawing participation from future leaders in the field of law, the debate brought together the brightest of young legal minds from Hamad Bin Khalifa University Law School and Qatar University College of Law to exchange their views in front of a panel of experts, including Sheikh Thani al Thani, member of the Qatar Law Association and board member of the Qatar International Centre for Arbitration and Conciliation and Dr Mohammed al Khulaifi, Dean College of Law at Qatar University.
The junior lawyers recognised the worldwide challenges in resolving international disputes by peaceful means and gave practical suggestions on how to improve the international mechanisms for resolving disputes.
The discussion involved a comparison of the different international organisations responsible for resolving disputes such as the World Trade Organisation, International Court of Justice, International Criminal Court, International Tribunal of the Sea and the UN Security Council, with an examination of speed of process, costs, number of cases handled and users by nationality.
Organised by the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption Centre (ROLACC) and the Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre (QICDRC), this year's debate marks the third Qatar Law Forum following previous successful events in 2009 and 2012.
