Such cross-border mediations involve:
• international and intercultural competencies;
• online and face-to-face mediation protocols; and
• knowledge of private international law in relation to the substantive and procedural aspects of mediation.
The course will address these and other topical issues, including enforceability of international mediated settlement agreements, to provide participants with a current overview of international legal practice and trends in this field. Participants will have the opportunity to develop specialised mediation skills relevant to cross-border settings.
Students conducted research on assigned jurisdictions and recommended how the Singapore convention on mediation can be adopted in that jurisdiction, including the steps need to be taken for adoption.
