This chapter examines contending African interpretations of peace and change; how some of these interpretations have come to constitute continental institutions; and how these institutions, in turn, have succeeded or failed to make a difference. Its argument is threefold. First, African interpretations of peace and change converge around a nexus of five elements: liberty, unity, development, pacific settlement of disputes and democracy. Second, this nexus left a major mark on continental institutions, first the Organization of African Unity and then the African Union. Third, although Africa’s record of peaceful change is very promising when one is to apply markers for peaceful change traditionally used in international relations, the continent has experienced very pronounced and persistent obstacles to implementing the five elements of the much more demanding nexus.

Settlement Of Disputes

The article examines the ontology of the autonomy of family relations and its impact on the independence of family law as a branch of law. It is proved that the independence of family law as a branch of law, due by the nature of family relations and their autonomy, determines the need to regulate family relations by an independent codified normative legal act containing material norms of law. Thus, it is concluded that the branch autonomy does not determine the existence of a separate system of courts for the settlement of disputes connected with application of norms of law and an independent justice. Since all family disputes can be considered by courts of General jurisdiction within the existing types of legal proceedings (claim proceedings, special proceedings, writ proceedings), the creation of specialized family courts in the Russian Federation is impractical. However, for the proper consideration and resolution of family disputes, based on the specifics of their subject composition, the subject of dispute, the nature of relationships, degree of procedural activity of the court, it is necessary to supplement Civil procedural code of the Russian Federation separate chapters containing the rules governing the procedural peculiarities of consideration of some categories of family disputes.

The Impact

The article analyzes the provisions of the arbitration procedural legislation and the practice of its application on a different pre-trial dispute settlement procedure established by the contract. A different pre-trial procedure is considered as an alternative to the general claim procedure for resolving disputes. The characteristic features of a different pre-trial order have been revealed. The authors summarized the practice of arbitration courts, highlighting other demanded pre-trial dispute settlement procedures. In particular, examples of atypical other methods of dispute settlement are provided. Separately, the issue of the admissibility of the cancellation of the general claim procedure for the settlement of disputes by the agreement was considered. An independent subject of the authors’ analysis was mediation as a pre-trial dispute settlement procedure. The work also focuses on the impact of a different pre-trial dispute settlement procedure on the course of the limitation period. The article discusses the provisions of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of 22 June 2021 No. 18 “On Some Issues of Pre-Trial Settlement of Disputes Considered in Civil and Arbitration Proceedings”. Some of the recommendations of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation received critical assessment. The authors note the existing contradictions in the legislation and possible ways to overcome them, formulate individual conclusions as a result of studying the materials of the practice of arbitration courts.
