ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As Chief Justice N. V. Ramana has said, \u201cMahabharata actually provides an example of an early attempt at mediation as a conflict resolution tool. Lord Krishna attempted to mediate the dispute between the Pandavas and Kauravas. It may be worthwhile to recall that the failure of mediation led to disastrous consequences.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The concept of ADR is of great significance at present when disputes are increasing and courts of the biggest republic country are facing a vast backlog of cases. Also, India has a great history in the methods of ADR. Arbitration and mediation are necessary in the present time, especially in India. The entire objective of ADR is to bring speedy justice and to reduce the backlogs of Public Interest Litigation and many Criminal cases so that the Judges are free to apply their minds and devote their time to other important matters having National & Constitutional Significance.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In this backdrop, the Centre for Alternative Dispute Resolution and Professional Skills (CADR) of Himachal Pradesh National Law University (HPNLU) is organizing an International Conference (Virtual) on \u201cFUTURE OF ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION: CONTEMPORARY ISSUES AND CHALLENGES\u201d and proudly invites papers from the Academicians, Judicial Officers, Researchers, Professionals, Practitioners, Students of law, commerce and management, and other stakeholders on the emerging issues and related areas on the broader sub-themes given below.<\/div>\n
