Independent and neutral resources for effective, efficient arbitration hearings in New York City
Join us for this year’s NGO CSW 70 program entitled, ‘Women in Alternative Dispute Resolution and the Courts.’ We’ll explore how judges, and specifically women, support access to justice and advance the rule of law through innovative means in courthouses worldwide. As described in the 2016 UNDP Annual Report on The Rule of Law and Human Rights, Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16) – for peaceful, just, and inclusive societies – ushers in a new kind of development, one where people can influence the decisions that affect their lives and create communities that thrive. SDG 16 explains how fair governance plays a crucial role in promoting peaceful, just, and inclusive societies, as well as ensuring sustainable development. The program will bring together courthouse leaders from around the world to discuss how the use of alternatives to dispute resolution, such as mediation and arbitration, in the courthouse is helping to improve access to justice for vulnerable litigants in various contexts.
