Turkey: International Courts & Tribunals

An arbitration clause is often one of the last provisions negotiated in an international contract. Commercial points have been agreed, the transaction is ready to close, and the dispute-resolution clause is treated as something that can be taken from an earlier agreement.

International divorce cases in Turkey involve complex jurisdictional questions when spouses have different nationalities, live in different countries, or hold assets across multiple jurisdictions. Understanding which court has authority, what law applies, and how foreign decisions are recognized becomes essential for foreign nationals, expatriates, and Turkish citizens abroad navigating divorce proceedings.

The competence-competence principle grants arbitral tribunals the authority to determine their own jurisdiction, including questions about the validity and scope of arbitration agreements. This article examines how Turkish law implements this fundamental arbitration doctrine through statutory provisions and judicial precedent, analyzing the balance between arbitral autonomy and judicial oversight in both domestic and international arbitration proceedings.

Arbitration constitutes a widely preferred alternative dispute resolution mechanism, particularly in commercial disputes, due to its advantages in terms of expertise, confidentiality, and procedural efficiency.
