Abstract

Tahkim yargılaması uluslararası alanda sıklıkla başvurulan etkin bir yargılama biçimidir. Tahkim yargılamasının kendine özgü yapısı ve giderek yaygınlaşması, tarafların, taraf vekillerin ve menfaat temin etmek isteyen hakemlerin tahkim yargılamasını engelleyici ve erteleyici davranışlara başvurmasına sebebiyet vermektedir. Taraflar, taraf vekilleri ve hakemler tarafından tahkim yargılamasının olağan akışını bozan bu tür davranışlar gerilla taktikleri olarak ifade edilmektedir.

Bu makalede, öncelikle hangi tür davranışların gerilla taktiği niteliğinde olduğu belli bir sınıflandırma yapılarak tespit edilmiş daha sonra da tahkim yargılamasının akışını bozan gerilla taktiği niteliğindeki davranışların engellenebilmesi maksadıyla Uluslararası Barolar Birliği (International Bar Association – IBA) tarafından oluşturulan davranış kuralları, doktrindeki görüşler de dikkate alınarak incelenmiş ve gerilla taktiklerini önlemeye yönelik birtakım çözüm önerilerinde bulunulmuştur.

Guerrilla Tactics and Prevention of Guerrilla Tactics in Arbitration

Abstract

Arbitration process is a powerful type of proceeding that is widely used in the international dispute resolutions. Due to the special features of arbitration proceedings and their growing popularity, parties, their counsels and arbitrators seeking financial profit often operate in ways that obstruct and delay the arbitration process. Guerrilla tactics are actions taken by parties, their counsels, and arbitrators to disrupt the usual course of arbitration proceedings.

In this article, first, what kind of behaviour is a guerrilla tactic has been determined by making a certain classification, and then the codes of conduct created by the International Bar Association (IBA) in order to prevent guerrilla tactic behaviours that disrupt the arbitration proceedings are examined, taking into account the opinions in the doctrine. A number of solutions have been proposed to prevent guerrilla tactics.
