Arab judicial conf. underlines Arab judicial cooperation

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) wa.mt KUNA 120040 Apr 07NNNN
