Extract

Thank you to all of you for having me here. I am in very distinguished company today. What I would like to do is to provide an outline of the genesis of the Singapore Convention on Mediation (Convention), how we got here, and more importantly, how we see ourselves moving forward. It is important that, having achieved this significant milestone, we do not rest on our laurels. We need to take steps to ensure that mediation will be adopted and become mainstream in dispute resolution.
