OHADA, GICAM tackle trade disputes.
OHADA, GICAM tackle trade disputes.
The Organisation for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa, OHADA, has invited some experts from the SOAS University of London to school business operators on managing disputes that develop from business deals. Participants at the conference have come from Cameroon and other 16 countries that adhere to the OHADA.
It was expected that by the time curtains dropped at the event last Friday, participants would have gained skills in dealing with this key challenge that has muzzled many business endeavours in the continent. After Addis Ababa, Cairo, Kigali and Arusha, Douala is the first French speaking African city to host the conference.
The conference affairs have been rolling around the theme “Legal Culture and Arbitration Practice in Africa”. It has brought together those who call the shots in business arbitration and legal issues in the continent.
Dr. Emilia Onyema of the school of African studies, London University, during the opening ceremony last Tuesday March 17, said the conference seeks to promote arbitration in settling business disputes. Participants have so far held talks on legal culture and how it stands to promote development in Africa.
For his part, the Secretary General of OHADA, Emmanuel Sibidi Darankaoum, said the conference is a rare opportunity for persons involved in arbitration to share best practices and upgrade their output when they return to their respective countries.
Sibidi emphasized that arbitration has become the conventional option of dealing with international business disputes. That explains why arbitration was included in the OHADA law and an organ created to implement it. The views were quickly shared by the Cameroon Employers’ Association, GICAM, whose representative at the training said GICAM created an arbitration center in 1998 which later became a Centre for Mediation and Arbitration.
The Cameroon Bar Association also participated at the event. An inaugural lecture was delivered by the Dean of the Faculty of Law and Political Science University of Dschang, Professor Henri Bebe Modi Koko. The international conference resulted from a research that diagnosed the possible impact of sustainable arbitration on trade disputes.
