Milletlerarası Ticari Tahkimde Gizlilik Yükümlülüğü

Abstract

Gizlilik ve mahremiyet birbirlerine çok benzeyen ama bir o kadar da birbirlerinden farklı olan kavramlardır. Milletlerarası ticari tahkim, milletlerarası ticaret uygulayıcıları tarafından uyuşmazlık çözüm yolu olarak sıklıkla tercih edilen bir yoldur. Tarafların ticari sırlarının ve gizli bilgilerinin korunması tahkimin tercih edilme nedenlerindendir. Tarafların tahkim yargılaması sırasında edindikleri diğer tarafa ait bilgiler genel itibariyle gizli bilgi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Edinilen bu bilgilerin üçüncü kişilere açıklanamayacağı ve gizli kalacağı konusu ise, gizlilik yükümlülüğü kapsamında değerlendirilmektedir.
