Promote Arbitration, Mediation

Symposiums, workshops and seminars have been convened time and again to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the dispute resolution systems in Nepal. This writer took part in two of such events organised during the previous months dwelling around the dispute resolution with special focus on arbitration and mediation. The first of such events was organised by Nepal International ADR Center (NIAC) in which supreme court justices and government secretary in charge of ministry of law, justice and parliamentary affairs, among others, had made impressive presentations on the need to strengthen alternative dispute resolution system as formal court litigation has failed to avail justice to the people in a judicious manner.
