What UN Singapore Convention on Mediation - UNSCM 2019 requires
The Singapore Convention on Mediation (UN Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation, 2019 - 14 Parties, 58 signatories including USA, China, India, EU states as of April 2026) enables direct cross-border enforcement of mediated settlement agreements in commercial disputes without court proceedings, analogous to the New York Convention for arbitral awards; parties may invoke Article 3 enforcement rights directly in any Contracting State, and businesses that include a mediation clause in commercial contracts now have a credible enforcement pathway for mediated settlements - transforming mediation from a soft dispute resolution mechanism into a hard-enforcement tool competitive with international arbitration.
