The 5th Asian Mediation Conference (AMA)
Can Mediation Survive in a World of Trumpian Negotiators?
Following successful AMA conferences in Singapore 2009, Kuala Lumpur 2011, Hong Kong 2014 and Beijing 2016, the 5th AMA Conference will add significant value to the promotion and understanding of mediation in Asia.
The Asian Mediation Association (AMA) is a regional membership body comprising 13 mediation centers, which are based in Asia. The founding members of AMA are: The Indonesian Mediation Center (PMN), Hong Kong Mediation Centre (HKMC), Malaysian Mediation Centre (MMC), Philippine Mediation Center (PMC) and Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC). The Indonesian Mediation Center currently serves as the AMA Secretariat.
AMA aims to promote and facilitate the use of mediation to amicably settle disputes in Asia. AMA will facilitate the sharing of resources, best practices, experience and local knowledge. This will be done through joint promotional events, conferences and research and development projects. AMA will also provide a regional dispute resolution infrastructure for conflict management and dispute resolution that will support the increasing cross-border investment and trade activities of the fast-growing Asian economies.
