RIYADH — The Saudi Ministry of Justice's Conciliation Center issued 73,000 conciliation agreements during the first half of 2025, reinforcing the Kingdom’s efforts to promote amicable dispute resolution and reduce the burden on courts.

The Center facilitated more than 544,000 conciliation sessions, benefiting over 733,000 individuals. These milestones underscore the growing reliance on alternative dispute resolution mechanisms within the justice system.

Central to the initiative is the Taradhi platform (taradhi.moj.gov.sa), which offers remote conciliation services, enabling parties to settle disputes efficiently without the need for in-person attendance.

The platform is supported by qualified conciliators with expertise in various legal and commercial domains, and all operations adhere to institutional procedures and approved regulations.

Conciliation agreements concluded through Taradhi are legally binding and directly enforceable through the enforcement courts if either party fails to comply.

The progress achieved by the Conciliation Center is aligned with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and falls under the Conciliation System Activation Initiative, part of the National Transformation Program. The initiative aims to embed conciliation as a primary method for resolving disputes across Saudi society. — SG
