The International Organisation for Mediation (IOMed) is the world’s first intergovernmental legal organisation, headquartered in Hong Kong. Its primary mission is to provide flexible, cost-effective, and efficient mediation services for international disputes, encompassing state-to-state, investor-state, and international commercial conflicts. As a permanent intergovernmental body, IOMed aims to elevate mediation’s global status and promote peaceful resolution, aligning with the UN Charter. Supported by numerous countries, its establishment significantly bolsters Hong Kong’s position as a leading international dispute resolution hub.
