O Ministério da Justiça promove hoje, no Centro de Convenções de Talatona, um seminário internacional para abordar os “Métodos Alternativos de Resolução de Conflitos".
Enquadrado no processo de reforma da justiça e do Direito em Angola, o encontro, que decorrerá sob o lema "Por um sistema de justiça mais célere e eficaz", vai abordar métodos alternativos de resolução de conflitos, baseados na conciliação e mediação.
O encontro pretende recolher junto da sociedade civil contributos para o enriquecimento do ante-projecto de lei de conciliação e mediação.
Segundo a chefe de departamento de instrução e justiça extrajudicial do Ministério da Justiça, pretende-se com isto um centro de conciliação e mediação de conflitos que funcionará paralelamente aos tribunais, ajudando a formar acordos com carácter de sentença e descongestionar os tribunais.
Para Esmeralda Mangueira, os métodos têm por finalidade a resolução de pequenos conflitos pela via pacífica, sem recurso a altas instâncias judiciais.
" Uma criança que não tenha apoio do pai, por exemplo, é uma situação que pode encontrar solução imediata num desses métodos", sustentou.
Para o efeito, serão criados centros especializados dos quais o cidadão poderá recorrer em busca de solução imediata de um conflito.
Em todo mundo tem sido cada vez mais frequente o uso de meios alternativos para a resolução de conflitos, evitando assim os inconvenientes do sistema formal de justiça, tais como a morosidade e o excessivo encargo financeiro.
O encontro, com a duração de dois dias, vai discutir ainda matérias como "A criação da Lei da Mediação", Criação de Centros de Conciliação e Métodos de Resolução de conflitos", "O Papel do Juiz e do Ministério Público na Conciliação e Mediação", "A Composição do Tribunal Arbitral" e "A Justiça Tradicional em Angola".
Serão prelectores portugueses e brasileiros, com destaque para o ex-presidente do Supremo Tribunal de Justiça de Portugal, Jaime Cardona Ferreira, e do Conselheiro de Mediação de S.Paulo, Braga Neto.O encontro terá ainda como palestrantes Carlos Feijó e Raul Araújo.
Cerca de seiscentas pessoas, entre psicólogos, sociólogos, juristas e membros de ONG participarão no evento.
