King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz Program for Studies and Research in International Dispute Resolution

King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz Program for Studies and Research in International Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine University is a result of a cooperation between Pepperdine University in California- USA and Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University in Al Khobar, KSA.
This program has been established to advance public knowledge and awareness about international dispute resolution, as well as the interconnectedness of critical issues of mutual interest to both institutions.
The Program aims to:

  • Spread a general and inclusive understanding of the concepts of conflict and disputes, dispute resolution and conflict transformation;
  • Support scientific understanding of conflict and dispute contexts;
  • Support studies and research in the psychology of mediation, as well as innovation in dispute resolution;
  • Promote peaceful resolution and better understanding in conflicting communities;
  • Involve and train youth in international dispute resolution;
  • Promote the focus on youth views in historical and contemporary international disputes.
As part of the Program activities, PMU and Pepperdine organize on March 12 and 13, 2019 The Global Dispute Resolution Conference at the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution on Pepperdine University Campus in Los Angeles (Malibu), and with a wide participation from experts and researchers in the field of International Law and International Dispute resolution. PMU and Pepperdine also emphasize on student participation from both institutions to ensure that the Program builds and trains a generation of international dispute resolution experts capable of developing innovative techniques and methodologies in arbitration for local and international matters.
