2nd International Conference on Mediation (Capacity development program & Innovative practices) is being organised by Law Centre-II, Faculty of Law, University of Delhi in association with Samadhan: Delhi High Court Mediation Centre and Delhi School of Public Policy & Governance, Institute of Eminence (IoE), University of Delhi, under the action research by the Department of Justice, Ministry of Law & Justice, Govt. of India.
About the Conference
Jurists have often stressed over social, economic and political Justice. In a country like India where there is unity in diversity, such diversity and unity can be preserved only through the above-mentioned ideals. Moreover, in modern times where the world has undergone drastic changes and these concepts have become fundamental to each and every participating unit of our modern world. Securing these certainly becomes necessary for a flourishing world and economy.
In a country like India, where the course of development is skewed and affecting each and every citizen, the demand for Justice is increasing at a greater pace given that a major chunk of our population still remains marginalized, deprived and destitute.
However, the cost of litigation has risen exponentially, threatening these sections of society to claim what is their legitimate right. The concept of Alternate Dispute Resolution is not new to India and has existed since ancient times. The tribes and villages in India are still pursuing such traditional methods of dispute resolution. Thus, mediation as a process of dispute resolution is not new to our nation, what is required in the changed social scenario is an effective adaptation of the traditional methodology to the new conditions. This calls for untiring efforts and devotion to be dutifully put into this process, right from its inception to its culmination into an effective practice.
In connection to this, we quote Justice Swatanter Kumar, former Judge Supreme Court of India, “The benefits of such process as mediation are further fortified from the fact that imminent legal personalities such as Mahatma Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln and Nani Palkhiwala have taken pleasure and pride in continuously settling the cases out of the court in uniting the parties driven as under by conflict and discouraging litigation.” “Santosham Param Sukham”.
