Welcome to the International Organization for Mediation

Initiated jointly by 19 countries, the International Organization for Mediation (IOMed) will be the world’s first intergovernmental legal organization dedicated to resolving international disputes through mediation. Leveraging the unique advantages of mediation as a more flexible, cost-effective, convenient and well-implemented means, it offers a new option to all countries for party-owned and efficient resolution of international disputes.

Disputes Between States

Pursuant to the IOMed Convention, the IOMed provides mediation services for disputes between States submitted by mutual consent. The dispute must not be excluded by a concerned State through a declaration, and not involving a third State unless prior consent is given by that third State.

Commercial & Investment Disputes Between A State & A National of Another State

Pursuant to the IOMed Convention, the IOMed provides mediation services with respect to commercial or investment disputes between a State or an international organization and a national of another State submitted by mutual consent.

International Commercial Disputes

Pursuant to the IOMed Convention, the IOMed provides mediation services with respect to disputes arising out of or relating to international commercial relationships between private parties.
