An Introduction To Public International Law – Cecily Rose

The panel recommended that Israel offer a statement of regret and payment for the benefit of the deceased and injured victims and their families. The panel also recommended ways to avoid such incidents in the future – an aspect of its mandate that went beyond dispute settlement between Israel and Turkey. In addition to its factual findings and recommendations, the panel also made some legal determinations about issues such as the legality of the naval blockade. This panel report thus demonstrates that, like the early inquiries established under the framework of the 1899 and 1907 Hague Conventions, contemporary inquiries continue to make legal assessments as well as factual findings, and touch on ‘vital interests’, such as security matters.

d Conciliation Conciliation is a procedure by which a third party examines all aspects of a dispute, and makes recommendations that the parties can accept or reject.33 Because conciliation commissions or panels may be expressly designed to deal with the facts, law, as well as other considerations, conciliation could be regarded as lying somewhere in between diplomatic and legal dispute settlement methods. But conciliation is most appropriately classified as a form of diplomatic dispute settlement because of the non-binding status of conciliation reports and the fact that the commissions may take non-legal factors, such as equity or fairness into consideration.

These represent fundamental distinctions between conciliation and legal methods of dispute settlement, which result in binding arbitral awards or judicial decisions based on the law. Conciliation allows disputing parties more flexibility than arbitration or adjudication, in that conciliation results only in recommendations, which the disputing parties are not bound to accept. In contrast with negotiations and mediation, however, conciliation is considerably less flexible, as it can entail more formal, court-like proceedings. While disputing parties exercise a fair amount of control over conciliation proceedings, the degree of control is again less than with negotiations or mediation.

Disputing parties that pursue conciliation choose the panellists or participate in their selection, and they also confer a mandate on the panel, thereby defining the scope of the panellists’ work.
