Concilliation

Conciliation is well-established in India, where various laws recognize it as an acceptable method of dispute resolution. Many specific legislations have historically encouraged conciliation for settling disputes. However, there remains a lack of recognized professionals trained in formal conciliation processes or qualified to serve as conciliators.

Conciliation offers parties the chance to explore settlement options with the guidance of an impartial third party. In India, the Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 1996 governs conciliation, covering both domestic and international disputes, though international conciliation is limited to commercial cases.

The demand for conciliation in India and internationally is supported by Indian legislation and the UNCITRAL Model Law, due to its cost-effectiveness and flexibility, allowing parties to shape their own process. This course is designed for students, legal practitioners, and professionals to gain practical expertise in conciliation, both in domestic and international settings, setting them on a path to become skilled professionals in the field.
