Saudi MoJ: Up to 17K Applicants Register as Mediators, Nearly Half of Them Are Women

Saudi MoJ: Up to 17K Applicants Register as Mediators, Nearly Half of Them Are Women

Around 17,000 people have applied to the Mediation Center for registration as mediators, nearly half of them are women, revealed the Saudi Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

The MoJ’s Mediation Center had enabled such applications less than one month ago to allow individuals from commercial and non-profit organizations to practice mediation.

After electronic approval by the Mediation Center, the mediation records that will be issued are recognized as enforcement instruments.

“The applicants have various professions, including professors, doctors and lawyers; which enriches the reconciliation process and enhances outcomes,” the ministry said.

“In total, the applicants are committed to carry out over 220,000 voluntary mediation sessions,” the ministry explained.

“To complete the registration process, they will also have to take cognitive tests and interviews.”

Within the initiative for implementing the mediation system, Justice Minister Waleed al-Sama’ani had approved new mediation rules, aiming to promote mediation as an optimal option for resolving disputes.

Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Hissein Brahim Taha emphasized the importance of the International Alliance to Implement the Two-State Solution.

The alliance was announced by Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah during a high-level meeting held on the sidelines of the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York.

In a statement on Sunday, Taha urged all countries to join this historic political initiative, highlighting its role as a political network working for the two-state solution in accordance with international law, the UN Charter and resolutions.

The alliance, he said, reflects a dedication to backing endeavors aimed at ending the Israeli occupation, establishing the Palestinian State, and realizing a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the region.

He urged countries that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to promptly join the 149 countries that have done so, and to endorse its right to full UN membership.

This will strengthen Palestine's legitimacy and political status, and advance the rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and to establish their independent state based on the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, he stressed.
