Committee Overview

The Mediation Committee focuses on laws, practices and procedures relating to the mediation, conciliation, and negotiation of transnational disputes, as well as other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes. The Committee seeks to advance the information available to the international legal community about such processes and techniques for implementing them, to contribute to the development of improved practices and ethical standards in the field, and to draw attention to legal developments and problems relating to mediation and ADR.

The Committee also has a Subcommittee devoted to developments related to the UNCITRAL Model Law on Mediation.

Additionally, the Mediation Committee works with the following IBA Committees to form the Dispute Resolution Section.

Arbitration
