International Organization for Mediation
The International Organization for Mediation (IOMed) is the world’s first intergovernmental legal organization dedicated to resolving international disputes through mediation. It will be a key mechanism to apply mediation as a peaceful means to settle international disputes enshrined in the UN Charter with a view to win-win cooperation between the parties, and is of great importance to improving global governance and promoting world peace and the stability of the international order.

The establishment of the IOMed headquarters in Hong Kong demonstrates the city’s unique advantages and opportunities in international mediation, and is also an important initiative for the HKSAR in establishing the city as a centre for international legal and dispute resolution services in the Asia-Pacific region under the National 14th Five-Year Plan with the staunch support of the Central People’s Government. Upon its establishment, the IOMed will provide friendly, flexible, economical and efficient mediation services, thereby building Hong Kong as a capital for international mediation.
