Singapore Convention Week 2021 starts today. Organised by the Ministry of Law, Singapore, it gathers dispute resolution experts from around the world, to serve the changing needs of businesses.
Two years ago, the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation was signed here. We were proud that fellow UN Member States chose Singapore to host the signing ceremony, and named it the Singapore Convention! The Convention allows parties that reach a mediated settlement in an international commercial dispute to enforce settlement terms in the courts of signatory countries.
Pictured is the “Aranda Singapore Convention on Mediation”, the first flower to be named after an international treaty. Wishing all participants a fruitful and productive meeting.
