The Head of the Algiers Bar Association, Mohamed Baghdadi, announced on Saturday in Algiers the creation of the Algerian Dispute Resolution Center, aimed at strengthening national capacities in arbitration and mediation.
This initiative was announced on the sidelines of the International Seminar themed "International Arbitration: Sovereignty and Alternative Dispute Resolution Methods," attended by government members and representatives of national bodies.
This strategic initiative aims to strengthen national capacities in arbitration and mediation, ensure a modern and reliable institutional framework for dispute resolution, and consolidate Algeria's position as a leading regional player in arbitration and alternative dispute resolution methods.
In a statement to the press regarding the future Center, Mr. Baghdadi specified that "what distinguishes it above all is its independence, as it will bring together a group of experts and arbitrators based on specializations, thus ensuring respect for the interests of all parties."
The Center is characterized by "speed, confidentiality, and economic expertise," he stated, noting that one of its major objectives is "the training of qualified Algerian arbitrators and experts in various fields, thereby strengthening the capacity to resolve commercial and investment disputes efficiently and impartially."
The Minister of Justice, Keeper of the Seals, Lotfi Boudjemaa, emphasized that the creation of this Center "will genuinely contribute to achieving a set of public interest objectives, especially given that Algeria, with its important and strategic geographical position, is poised to become a regional hub for international commercial arbitration and the resolution of disputes related to investment and international trade."
