The Singapore International Dispute Resolution Academy (SIDRA) is proud to partner with the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD) and AUSAID for Perspectives on International Mediation - Mediating in States and Communities on 31 October 2022.  The talk today involved an in-depth discussion by Ms Rosemain "Dadang" Abduraji with brief comments by Hadzer, and kindly moderated by Michael Vatikiotis, on how mediation can diffuse tense and violent disputes, such as those involving armed weapons, bringing light to a very different kind of disagreement from what we see locally.
