Description
This Commentary offers an article-by-article examination of the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation (the Singapore Convention), as well as insights into the negotiation process through which the Convention was developed. It provides deep theoretical and practical analysis of the Convention and its consequences for the promotion of mediation as a mechanism to solve commercial conflicts with a cross-border character.
Key Features:
A comparative approach with perspectives from five continents and a variety of legal traditions
Critical discussion of every stage from the negotiation to the conclusion of the Convention
Sound proposals for the Convention's implementation and application by States and regional organisations
Contributions from a diverse group of practitioners and academics, including some who were part of the negotiation of the Singapore Convention
The Commentary will be a crucial resource for practitioners, arbitrators and mediators involved in cross-border commercial disputes, as well as judges in this area. It will also be of interest to scholars working in international commercial law, arbitration and mediation.
