Legal Pluralism in Action Dispute Resolution and the Kurdish Peace Committee

This book contributes to, and refocuses, public debates about the incorporation of plural approaches into the English legal system by examining a secular method of dispute resolution practised by the Kurdish Peace Committee in London. The pluralistic approach is seen by Kurdish communities in the UK as widely applicable elsewhere, and in a possible future Kurdish state, as a practical solution to the challenges of a pluralistic life. The book provides a substantive evidence base, using extensive ethnographic data, and examines detailed case studies in the context of the customs and practices of the Kurdish community.
