International Mediation Institute

The International Mediation Institute (IMI) is a non-profit public initiative with the vision of professional mediation worldwide, promoting consensus and access to justice. To this end, it convenes global stakeholders in establishing high mediation standards, promotes understanding and adoption of mediation, and disseminates skills and materials for parties, counsel, and mediators, including a professional Code of Conduct. The international standards established by IMI add guarantees of quality and transparency, facilitating credible, and ultimately more satisfactory, outcomes for those who desire it most—conflict parties themselves.

Driving transparency and high competency standards in mediation, worldwide.

IMI is the only organisation in the world that transcends local jurisdictions to develop global, professional standards for mediators and advocates involved in collaborative dispute resolution and negotiation.

IMI convenes stakeholders, promotes understanding of mediation, and disseminates skills. IMI is changing the landscape in the world of dispute resolution through the establishment of mediation standards and via initiatives such as its worldwide ‘Global Pound Conference‘ series. Competent mediation empowers parties, promoting better, less adversarial access to justice. Read more about mediation.
