In this week’s Mediation news, presented by Professor Nadja Alexander and Aled Davies, we report from Edinburgh at Mediate 2016 – the Scottish Mediation Network’s Annual conference. We learn about a different kind of community mediation in a global village with the World Bank Group urging India and Pakistan to mediate over a water dispute. From the Indian sub-continent we travel to Somalia and look at the role of mediation in political dialogue. Our final destination is Australia where we learn about the role of mediation to assist victims of historical institutional sexual and physical abuse, a topics that’s hit the news very recently in the UK. These are the main stories but tune in for lots more in the world of mediation.
