La tesi esamina le norme procedurali dell'Arabia Saudita, ponendo l'accento sulle trasformazioni giuridiche che allineano il sistema giudiziario del Regno agli standard internazionali, pur preservando il suo patrimonio religioso e culturale. Lo studio delinea l'evoluzione del sistema legale saudita dal periodo pre-islamico, passando per l'era islamica, fino all'epoca moderna, profondamente influenzata dai principi della Shariah e dalle leggi statutarie. La modernizzazione giuridica dell'Arabia Saudita fa parte di una visione strategica più ampia volta a sviluppare un ambiente legale solido a sostegno dello sviluppo economico, degli investimenti esteri e dell'efficienza nella somministrazione della giustizia. La tesi descrive le principali riforme nel diritto civile, familiare e commerciale, inclusa l'adozione della Legge di Procedura Civile del 2017, che ha semplificato le operazioni giudiziarie e introdotto tecniche moderne come la gestione elettronica dei casi. Queste riforme riflettono lo sforzo dell'Arabia Saudita di armonizzare il proprio sistema legale con gli standard globali, garantendo trasparenza, prevedibilità ed equità nelle controversie civili e commerciali. La tesi esplora anche la struttura del sistema giudiziario saudita, esaminando i tribunali di primo grado, la Corte Suprema e il ruolo unico dei tribunali della Shariah nella risoluzione delle controversie familiari e di stato personale. Le principali norme procedurali che disciplinano le cause civili, tra cui il deposito delle cause, le procedure pre-processuali e i protocolli del processo, sono trattate in dettaglio, insieme alle sfide e alle soluzioni per migliorare l'efficienza e la trasparenza del processo legale. Le procedure di diritto di famiglia, in particolare quelle relative al matrimonio, al divorzio e alla custodia dei minori, sono affrontate con un focus sull'equilibrio tra i principi della Shariah e le esigenze legali contemporanee. La tesi sottolinea l'importanza di garantire il giusto processo e tutelare i diritti individuali rispettando al contempo i valori islamici. Inoltre, lo studio analizza l'integrazione delle norme procedurali internazionali da parte dell'Arabia Saudita, come la Legge Modello UNCITRAL sull'Arbitrato Commerciale Internazionale, e la sua conformità con convenzioni globali come la Convenzione di New York sul Riconoscimento e l'Esecuzione dei Lodi Arbitrali Esteri. Questa integrazione, sebbene impegnativa, è fondamentale per rafforzare la posizione del Regno come sede affidabile per la risoluzione delle controversie internazionali e per allineare il suo sistema legale alle pratiche commerciali globali. La tesi si conclude riflettendo sulle direzioni future delle riforme legali dell'Arabia Saudita in linea con la Vision 2030, mirate a creare un quadro giuridico moderno che sostenga la crescita economica, attiri investimenti esteri e rafforzi il ruolo del Regno nel panorama legale globale. L'integrazione della Shariah con gli standard internazionali, la formazione continua dei professionisti legali e le innovazioni procedurali costanti sono identificate come strategie chiave per ottenere un sistema legale equilibrato ed efficace.
