External Mediators Should Hold Off

Civil activists have suggested bringing in external mediators to end the stand-off between the authorities and the opposition, but NBCentralAsia analysts say both sides are still capable of holding talks and outsiders should keep their distance. On March 29, the head of the Association of Non-Government and Non-Commercial Organisations, Toktayim Umetalieva, called for outside mediation. “Kyrgyzstan has reached a point where international players like the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, or the European Union should intervene to preserve the peace," she told the 24.kg news agency. The opposition United Front for a Worthy Future for Kyrgyzstan headed by Felix Kulov is planning mass rallies for April 9-11 to demand the president's resignation and early presidential elections.

Arbitration Law in England and applicability in Sri Lanka in terms ...

England as a major trading nation developed arbitration law since mid 1880 in order to meet the needs of the commercial men.

International trade was the lifeblood of many industries and the problems with the enforcement of judgements abroad and the problems with the conflict of laws arising from private international law led to sophisticated developments in arbitration law.

Dispute resolution by way of arbitration in England has existed for as long as the common law was in practice. It is only recently that there has developed a distinct branch of jurisprudence termed arbitration law.

Arbitration is a consensual process. It is possible to go through the process of arbitration without interference from the court system. But it is safer to get court involved for easy implementation of the decisions arrived by the arbitration tribunal.
