The Jerusalem Old City Initiative

A proposed dispute resolution mechanism (DRM) for the Old City of Jerusalem and its surrounding historic area aims to address civil disputes across the region while maintaining independence from involved parties. This model envisions a voluntary system with a panel of permanent members appointed through a governance board, excluding criminal matters from its jurisdiction. The DRM's effectiveness hinges on its broad scope and appeal, ensuring impartial resolution for disputes rooted in the site's significance as a global religious, cultural, and political focal point.
