International Mediation Information

Talking about International Mediation, several agencies or organizations can govern Family matters depending on the context and countries involved. Here are some key entities that often play a role in international family mediation:

• Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH): The HCCH develops multilateral treaties and conventions that aim to harmonise and streamline procedures for international family matters, including mediation. They provide guidelines and frameworks that member states can adopt for cross-border mediation in family disputes.
• International Social Service (ISS): ISS is an international NGO that assists individuals and families with cross-border issues such as child custody, abduction, and access disputes. They facilitate mediation and other forms of dispute resolution across different jurisdictions.
• United Nations (UN): The UN, through various agencies and bodies, may support and promote mediation efforts in family matters, especially in contexts involving international human rights or humanitarian concerns.
• National and Regional Mediation Bodies: Many countries have their own governmental or non-governmental organisations that specialise in family mediation. These bodies often collaborate with international organisations to facilitate mediation in cases with a global dimension.

• Private Mediation Providers: Private mediation providers and organisations also offer mediation services for international family disputes. These can range from law firms specialising in family law to specialised mediation firms with expertise in cross-border issues.
• Overall, international family mediation involves a complex interplay of international treaties, organisations, and national legal systems. The choice of agency or organisation may depend on the specific nature of the dispute and the countries or jurisdictions involved.
