His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, has emphasised the kingdom’s robust legislative and judicial framework, which keeps pace with evolving needs and reflects the vision and aspirations of His Majesty King Hamad.
HRH Prince Salman was speaking as he yesterday met Bahrain’s International Dispute Resolution Council Secretary General Professor Marike Paulsson, at Riffa Palace.
He was presented with a book, which traces the development of Bahrain’s legal framework and documents key milestones in advancing justice. The book also highlights the measures taken by the kingdom to strengthen the rule of law, uphold justice, and protect rights and freedoms, in line with comprehensive development goals.
He commended the outcomes of the King Hamad Lecture for Neutral Justice, noting that it represents the strengthening of ongoing efforts aimed at advancing the commercial justice system regionally and internationally.
“These outcomes further the development of Bahrain’s commercial justice ecosystem, enhance legal partnerships with countries and international institutions, and contribute to encouraging trade, investment and economic growth,” HRH Prince Salman said.
“Bahrain International Commercial Court is a strong example of the kingdom’s advanced legislative system, given its pivotal role in supporting Bahrain’s commercial and investment environment through resolving commercial disputes in accordance with international best practices.”
Professor Paulsson expressed her appreciation for HRH the Crown Prince and Prime Minister’s continued support for initiatives that enhance Bahrain’s position as a regional hub for commercial justice and global legal co-operation.
