Legal Monitor Worldwide
February 15, 2014 Saturday
On 15 February 2014, the EU Advisory Group (EUAG), in close cooperation
with the Ministry of Justice, organised a roundtable discussion on
elaboration of Private International Law in Armenia. The roundtable was
welcomed and moderated by Mr Yeghishe Kirakosyan, Deputy Minister of
Justice. Other notable presenters included Mr Marco Roccia from the
University of Kent, Mr Charles Ehrlich, Advisor on Justice Reforms
from the EUAG, Dr. Mushegh Manukyan from the American University of
Armenia and Dr Armen Haykyants from Yerevan State University.
The discussion was aimed at providing insight on fundamental
questions that could assist Armenia in amending legislation on private
international law, highlighting problems in collision norms, conflict
of law institutions, international uniform laws, and improvement of
the climate for Armenian foreign trade.
The revision and elaboration of private international law in Armenia
remains crucial for developing a good legal environment for foreign
direct investment, as well as opening Armenia to trade. This revision
can support the development of the legal regulatory framework for
arbitration in Armenia. It is also crucial to harmonize the Armenian
private law framework with international standards and institutions
on a broad range of issues, including family, labour and intellectual
property law.
The roundtable was attended by the key stakeholders, legal experts
and representatives of international organizations
