Mediation bodies seal international alliance in Singapore to improve standards
28 April 2021
Five groups from across globe team up to promote cross-cultural awareness and improve training
Singapore Shutterstock Five international mediation training bodies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in Singapore aimed at raising international mediation standards. The group has pledged ‘to develop mediation into a recognised and viable profession’ in a move that builds on the Singapore Convention on Mediation, which came into force last September and which allows for the easier enforcement by national courts of international settlement agreements, much as the New York Convention does for arbitration awards.
