Webinar: Accelerating Change From our Blind Spots in International Dispute Resolution
Where are our blind spots when it comes to culture and diversity in international dispute resolution?

In arbitration, we rely on the arbitrator to fairly decide the merits; in mediation, we rely on the mediator to facilitate a sound settlement. A key component in these arrangements is an inherent trust in not only the decision-making systems and rules but also the independent character of all the individuals involved in the dispute resolution process.
