Alternatif Uyuşmazlık Çözüm Yöntemi Olarak Arabuluculuk ve Türk Hukukunda Arabuluculuk Süreci: Genel Bir Bakış

Abstract

Taraflar aralarında meydana gelen uyuşmazlıkların çözümü bakımından devlet yargısına başvurabilecekleri gibi, üçüncü kişilerin huzurunda uyuşmazlıkların çözümlenmesi amacıyla, alternatif uyuşmazlık çözüm yöntemlerini de tercih edebileceklerdir. Günümüzün değişen koşullarında, modern yargılama hukuklarında, uyuşmazlıkların mahkemeler aracılığıyla çözümlenmesine alternatif teşkil eden yöntemlere olan ilginin giderek arttığını görmekteyiz. Bu durum ise, alternatif uyuşmazlık çözüm yöntemlerinin sayıca artmasına ve bu yöntemlerin içinden de arabuluculuğun çeşitli nedenlerle ön plana çıkmasına sebep olmuştur. Bu sebepledir ki, Türk hukukunda arabuluculuk kurumunun yerleşmesi amacıyla kanuni düzenlemeler yapılması yoluna gidilmiştir. Çalışmamızda, öncelikle alternatif uyuşmazlık çözüm yolları ile arabuluculuğa ilişkin genel bilgiler ifade edilecek, sonrasında ise, bu kuruma ilişkin Türk hukukundaki temel düzenleme olan Hukuk Uyuşmazlıklarında Arabuluculuk Kanunu ve Türk arabuluculuk uygulamasının ifade edilmesi yoluna gidilecektir.

Mediation as an Alternative Dispute Resolution Method and Mediation Process in Turkish Law System: an Overview

Abstract

The parties seeking resolution of disputes arisen between them can either apply to the courts of justice or prefer using alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods to settle the dispute before third parties. Recently, alternative dispute resolution methods have become more popular than judicial procedures in modern procedural law. This caused an increase in the number of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods and put the mediation process forward among those methods for various reasons. In this respect, some regulations were put into effect to outline the framework of mediation in the Turkish law system. In this study, first a general description of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods and mediation will be made and then Law on Mediation in Civil Disputes (the “Mediation Law”), the basic regulation in the Turkish law system and mediation practices in Turkey will be introduced.
