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.

These are key elements of effective problem solving. On Day 4 of Mediation Week, we explore the how individuals can resolve conflicts through understanding, compassion and patience.
Conflicts are inevitable; therefore, understanding how to prevent conflicts becomes even more critical, especially in intergenerational settings. On Day 3 of Mediation Week, we discuss intergenerational conflicts and how individuals can resolve conflicts and alleviate tensions through listening, understanding, and respecting each other's views.
As we look to building for the future, it is important for the Jamat to plan for their future generations. The Ismaili International Conciliation and Arbitration Board recently released the Guidelines for Ethical Wealth Transfer and Inheritance Planning to assist murids in deciding how to ethically transfer their wealth, including upon death, so as to preserve their wealth for future generations, respect the equality of men and women, respond to the needs of their dependents, including younger and vulnerable members of their families, and thereby create a more resilient and stronger Jamat. On Day 2 of Mediation Week, we explore the importance of preserving and transferring wealth within the ethics of Islam, and how the Jamati institutions work together to help the Jamat better understand the Guidelines.
