Arab judicial conf. underlines Arab judicial cooperation
SHARJAH, April 11 (KUNA) -- Chief Arab judicial inspectors stressed the
importance of multilateral judicial cooperation among all Arab countries here
Wednesday.
They made the stress during the wrapping-up of their 11th session, calling
for finding a central judicial inspection agency in a bid to improve justice
and judicial independence in the Arab world.
They also said it was necessary for Arab judicial inspection bodies to
reinforce cooperation and share experience with their European counterparts
with a view to upgrading the performance of Arab courts and judicial
administrations.
A legal and judicial awareness administration needs to be created in order
to raise people's judicial awareness, the Arab judicial agencies' chiefs
recommended.
Sophisticated information systems ought to be introduced to judicial
inspection agencies due to their information treatment advantages and
provision of an easy access to adequate findings and data, according to the
conference' recommendations.
Furthermore, they called for providing a website for Arab judicial
inspection bodies, thus contributing to the reinforcement of common Arab
action in the judicial inspection domain.
The conference also said an Arab center for training Arab judicial
inspectors needed to be set up, proposing it to be headquartered in United
Arab Emirates (UAE), with a nine-member ad hoc committee to be made up for
working out required systems for the suggested center.
The Kuwaiti delegation participating in the conference presented a working
paper, containing Kuwait's visualization of training judicial inspectors.
The five-day conference, co-organized by the UAE's Ministry of Justice and
the Cairo-based Arab League, attracted 72 chief judicial inspectors from 17
Arab countries. (end)
