The International Organization of Mediation: The Power of Dialogue

In a world increasingly divided, can diplomacy speak with a new voice? From Hong Kong, a bold new initiative is taking shape: the International Organization for Mediation, or IOMed, promises to settle disputes not with judges and rulings but with conversation and consensus. Is this a fresh, flexible alternative to the courtroom or a so-called challenge to the existing global legal order? What's the future of peaceful dispute resolution? Host Tu Yun joins Helen Han, Co-founder and Secretary General of the Beijing Club for International Dialogue, Edward Lehman, Founder and Managing Director of China-based law firm Lehman, Lee & Xu, and Bai Xianyue, Partner of Grandall Law Firm Tianjn Office to take a close look on this week's Chat Lounge.
