The International Family Mediation Project is an international initiative, led by a group of experts, on a voluntary basis, to work with mediators and stakeholders globally to create a form of international family mediation profession, dealing with international family law issues; by creating good practices and providing resource documents and guidelines, to meet the needs of international families and their children post the break-down of a relationship.

Introduction to International Family Mediation

Most developed family justice systems support, encourage and sometimes subsidise alternative dispute resolution in family cases with specific training of mediators, and other ADR professionals.

Some are regulated, accredited, with codes of practice, suitable lists, standards of training and similar.

Both frameworks provide high level principles rather than detailed guidelines for the conduct of mediation.  Other international laws have some relevancy.
