- The Chinese government and other 32 countries have signed a convention for establishing an international mediation organisation (IOMed) in Hong Kong.
- It was described as the “world’s first intergovernmental international legal organisation dedicated to resolving international disputes through mediation”.
- Its status would be on par with the UN bodies the ICJ and the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague.
- Article 33 of the UN Charter provides for the peaceful settlement of international disputes through negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement or other peaceful means.
- So far, there has been no established intergovernmental organization for the mediation methods of dispute settlement.
