SummaryGreat efforts have been made by representatives of a multitude of countries to rectify the situation currently confronting parties, whether they be private individuals or states, that seek the return of stolen or illegally exported cultural objects. The organization UNIDROIT has been at the forefront of that effort. In June of 1995, representatives of over seventy states met in Rome and adopted the UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects. The UNIDROIT Convention will enter into force as it is ratified by individual states.The UNIDROIT Convention provides a claimant of a Contracting State with the option of using arbitration to settle its dispute. Until now, there has been little discussion of the advantages that international arbitration can bring to this domain. This article focuses on the benefits of international arbitration in facilitating the resolution of cultural property disputes. It presents an in-depth analysis of the text of the UNIDROIT Convention in the context of existing regulations in this area. It then examines three different approaches to international arbitration. These models serve to highlight the particular characteristics of this dispute resolution mechanism that make it ideally suited to cultural property disputes.

This chapter discusses arbitration for international mining disputes. Such disputes often involve parties from different countries often with different legal systems and cultures. Arbitration in a neutral forum, with independent and impartial decision-makers, as opposed to litigation in the national courts of one party or the other, is, in most cases, the preferred international dispute resolution mechanism. Some of the more well-known international institutions include the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). The remainder of the chapter provides a general overview of the role of national courts in connection with the international arbitration process and some of the primary issues that involve consideration by national courts.

The Alberta Court of Queen's Bench has been offering the mini-trial, a specialized dispute resolution process, to litigants and the bar for the last four years. The impetus for this move was the length and time often involved in litigation. The attraction of the mini-trial is that it is a method of expediting dispute resolution and that the costs associated with it are considerably less than those for a regular trial. The author outlines the history of the mini-trial, explaining how it developed in the U.S. as a private dispute resolution mechanism. The Alberta mini-trial is essentially an expanded pre-trial procedure, and is offered by the Court at no cost to participants. There is no rigid, formal procedure to the Alberta mini-trial, and its great strength is in fact flexibility and informality. The only requirement the Court has is that the actual parties must be present for the arguments and at the end of the mini-trial, when the judge gives his or her opinion. The author outlines the key elements of the mini-trial, as they have evolved to date, including the role of the judge and the nature of the actual process. The mini-trial has been enormously successful at encouraging settlements, which have followed or resulted from the mini-trial in over 90 percent of cases. Additionally, both counsel and clients appear to be quite pleased with the process. Despite this success, however, it should be noted that the mini-trial may not be appropriate in all cases. The author describes the types of cases to which the mini-trial both is and is not well-suited. He offers a case study, of a mini-trial over which he presided. This mini-trial was successful and led to a settlement. In closing, the author provides information to interested counsel and parties as to how and when they can access the mini-trial. The article closes with a recommendation that mini-trials always be considered as an option in lawsuits.

The role of mediation as mechanism for the amicable settlement of disputes is growing in the modern legal sector. Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism in modern law, and the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe recommended to use it in administrative disputes in 2001*. Mediation as the alternative dispute resolution mechanism is actively applied in civil disputes in Georgian legal sector, although it has not gained popularity in administrative disputes. Overwhelmed courts with administrative disputes and delayed justice once again underscores the need for reform, which may consider development of a new program to establish new mechanisms in administrative disputes and popularize application of new mechanisms. The use of mediation as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism in administrative-legal proceedings may have prospects, given its growing popularity in civil disputes and the methodology for resolving disputes amicably, although this requires judicial/legislative readiness. The goal of the study is to consider the perspective and possibility of using mediation in administrative disputes in order to demonstrate the need to use mediation as a mechanism.
