Workshop on mediation in Tunisia: Exchanges about the introduction of mediation in a country in the light of the CEPEJ guidelines and the comparative European experiences

In continuity of the actions dedicated to mediation initiated since the beginning of the year, the CEPEJ, in cooperation with the Tunisian National Bar Association (ONAT) organised on 12 July 2021 a workshop dedicated to the integration of mediation in a national system.

Regarding the existing situation in Tunisia and in the light of the CEPEJ guidelines and the experiences of other countries in Europe, this event allowed the participants to exchange on the different possible steps leading to the introduction of a mediation system in a country: strategic choices, methodology, legislative process, involvement of the different judicial professions and users, training of mediators.

The workshop was organised in the framework of the joint European Union / Council of Europe programme aimed at improving the functioning, performance and access to justice in Tunisia (AP-JUST) co-financed by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the latter.

In setting up the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) at the end of 2002, at the initiative of the European ministers of Justice who met in London (2000), the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe wanted to establish an innovative body for improving the quality and efficiency of the European judicial systems and strengthening the court users’ confidence in such systems.

The CEPEJ develops concrete measures and tools aimed at policy makers and judicial practitioners in order to:

Analyse the functioning of judicial systems and orientate public policies of justice
Have a better knowledge of judicial timeframes and optimize judicial time management
Promote the quality of the public service of justice
Facilitate the implementation of European standards in the field of justice
Support member states in their reforms on court organisations

The CEPEJ also contributes with specific expertise to debates about the functioning of the justice system in order to provide a forum for discussion and proposals and bring the users closer to their justice system. (Read more)
