Dexon Global Centre for Institutional Peacebuilding, ODR, Mediation & Arbitration Training
The Dexon Global Centre for Institutional Peacebuilding, ODR, Mediation and Arbitration Training is proud to announce the International Symposium on Arbitration, Peacebuilding and Global Governance (ISAPG 2026). Scheduled for 5th-6th September 2026 in a virtual format, this landmark event centers around the theme: "Justice Without Borders: Reimagining Dispute Resolution in a Digital World."
The symposium aims to address how the world's dispute resolution infrastructure, originally designed for a pre-digital era, is adapting to the volume, cost, and distance of modern conflicts. It seeks to advance the global discourse on Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) by exploring its applications beyond e-commerce into institutional peacebuilding, post-conflict mediation, and community reconciliation.
ODR & Access to Justice: Is digital dispute resolution actually reaching everyone?
AI, Technology & Dispute Resolution: Building smarter justice or replacing human judgment?
Cross-Border Disputes: Can online processes deliver globally enforceable outcomes?
ODR Beyond Commerce: Resolving conflicts in war zones, refugee camps, and communities.
Arbitration and Mediation: Tools for sustainable peacebuilding and transitional justice.
