What is Cross-Border Conciliation?
Cross-Border Conciliation is a non-adjudicatory process where a neutral conciliator actively assists parties in resolving disputes and may propose settlement terms. It is more structured than mediation and is recognized under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, along with international ADR practices.
Unlike mediation, the conciliator may take a more interventionist role in guiding the parties toward a settlement.
