Turkey enjoys a privileged historical, juridic, and geographical posture that suggests that it rightfully should be a leader in any effort contemplating the fashioning of a judicial culture premised upon a confluence of legal traditions. As of the date of this writing, the Ministry of Justice has made clear Turkey`s commitment to international commercial arbitration as both an instrumentality of that sovereign`s development and a reassurance published to the world of prospective investors in Turkey as a host-state that its judiciary has placed international commercial arbitration in pari materia with judicial recourse.This embracing and promotion of international commercialarbitration has been undertaken by clearly understanding that there is a need to build a judicial rubric on the traditional ius civile and the ius gentium europeam so as to give rise to, as an ultimate expression of a judicial voice, a ius mundis or, put simply, a global law.
