Abstract

The Singapore Convention on Mediation is a multilateral treaty established by the International Trade Commission (UNCITRAL) that provides a uniform and efficient framework for the implementation of settlement agreements on mediation.The study of the mechanism envisaged in the Singapore Convention for the identification and implementation of mediation agreements, together with a description of the scope and implementation of those agreements, as well as the grounds for refusing to grant relief to implementation within the Singapore Convention, suggests that the Singapore Convention and the Model Law on Mediation are a response to concerns about insufficient guarantees of the implementation of settlement agreements on mediation. First, the courts recognize and enforce dispute settlement agreements without the need to sue for breach of contract. Second, eligible agreements are deemed to have been judged under the Convention. It is also appropriate for countries that do not have a mediation law like Iran to ratify the Singapore Convention along with the 2018 Mediation Law or similar provisions.
