UN Guidance for Effective Mediation

The UN Guidance for Effective Mediation, presented in September 2012 at a high-level event on the sidelines of the 67th United Nations General Assembly, is the first broad UN guidance of this kind available to mediators. It reflects the experience of mediators over more than six decades and was developed in close cooperation with United Nations partners including member states, regional and subregional organizations.

Other UN resources on mediation include:

  • A/66/811: Report of the Secretary General: Strengthening the role of mediation in the peaceful settlement of disputes, conflict prevention and resolution, (25 June 2012)

  • A/RES/65/283: Strengthening the role of mediation in the peaceful settlement of disputes, conflict prevention and resolution: resolution / adopted by the General Assembly [New York]: (28 July 2011).
