Family Harmony & Relationships
Ethics are central to dispute prevention, dispute resolution, and compliance. If murids act ethically, in pursuit of the common good, they will contribute to an ethos of fairness and minimization of conflicts. Further, if murids are open to moral encouragement, they will be more amenable to settling disputes amicably and ethically. Once a dispute is settled, there is a moral commitment needed to comply with its terms. On Day 5 of Mediation Week, we revisit the role of ethics in disputes and how the Ismaili Conciliation and Arbitration Boards help the Jamat resolve disputes by providing an ethical culture of mediation.
Business disputes can be prevented through strong documentation and agreements. On Day 4 of Mediation Week, we explore the importance of well-considered contracts and agreements and how they can help mitigate and manage risk, as well as avoid misunderstandings and disputes.
Resolving conflicts through mediation over litigation has many advantages, including being more cost-effective and confidential. It also offers individuals the freedom to resolve conflicts themselves. On Day 3 of Mediation Week, we continue to explore the benefits of mediation and how to assess risk of litigation versus mediation from a judge’s perspective. Join us in Part II of Judicial Perspectives with Justice Hafeez Amarshi (Canada) and Justice Aleem Visram (Kenya) as they talk about the importance of resolving conflicts through mediation over litigation.

Mediation Week is recognized in countries around the world every October to highlight the value of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) as a constructive and cost-effective alternative to litigation. This year, the Ismaili International Conciliation and Arbitration Board is presenting a series of programs that provide insights on how to prevent and manage conflicts. On Day 1 of Mediation Week, we explore how people can prevent disputes with generosity, fairness, and an open mind.
