Commercial mediation in conflict zones

Tuesday 17 September (1615 - 1730)

CASA MONTEJO 3, LEVEL S

Committee(s)

Mediation Committee (Lead)

Description

There are as many ways of dealing with conflict as there are forms of conflict. Some choose to litigate as a means of resolving a conflict, others deal with conflict by taking up arms. Can you and should you seek to pursue commercial relationships and negotiate with an adversary? During, and even after, armed conflicts end trust is eroded and motives are questioned. Should parties engaged in commercial ventures try to negotiate in this dynamic, can mediation provide any answers? And what role does culture play in understanding these issues?
