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.

The Muslim World League (MWL) strongly condemned Israel’s approval of the establishment of 19 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.

In a statement issued by the MWL's General Secretariat, MWL Secretary-General and Organization of Muslim Scholars Chairman Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa denounced the decision as a continuation of the occupation government’s persistent policy of violating international laws and United Nations resolutions, and of undermining the prospects for a just and lasting peace based on the two-state solution.

He called on the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities to put an end to these violations and to enforce relevant international resolutions in the occupied Palestinian territories.
