VIENNA, July 19 (Xinhua) — The International Mediation Organization (IMO) will become the leading intergovernmental organization helping resolve international disputes through mediation, Li Song, China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office and Other International Organizations in Vienna, said at a reception for the IMO held on the sidelines of the 58th session of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).
Noting that the UN Charter clearly states that mediation is one of the preferred methods for the peaceful settlement of international disputes, Li Song said the IGO will be the world's first intergovernmental legal organization dedicated to resolving international disputes through mediation.
UNCITRAL Secretary Anne Joubin-Bret noted that she attended the signing ceremony of the Convention Establishing IGOs in Hong Kong in May this year. She expressed hope that in the future the organization will strengthen cooperation with UNCITRAL to jointly promote the development of the international legal order.
IGO is an important global public good provided by China jointly with like-minded countries to meet the development trend and demand for international mediation.
Under the IGO Convention, the organization will provide mediation services to settle three types of international disputes submitted by the parties by mutual consent expressed before or after the dispute has arisen: disputes between States, commercial or investment disputes between a State and a national of another State, and international commercial disputes between individuals. –0–
