The Making of the UNCITRAL Mediation Framework
Judith Knieper
ABSTRACT
The UNCITRAL mediation framework consists of the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation, also known as the Singapore Convention on Mediation, the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Mediation and International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation, 2018 (amending the Model Law on International Commercial Conciliation, 2002) and the Conciliation Rules.The UNCITRAL mediation framework will be supplemented by updated mediation rules as well as notes on mediation, which are currently on UNCITRAL's agenda. This framework is the result of the typical inclusive and transparent UNCITRAL drafting process and will hopefully contribute to the strengthening of mediation worldwide and make it an attractive and flexible dispute resolution tool.
