The third Asia-Pacific Mediation Forum Conference was held on 26–30 June 2006. This international conference was convened by the University of the South Pacific (USP) and was held at the USP campus in Suva, Fiji. The conference theme, ‘Mediating Cultures in the Pacific and Asia’, expressed the idea that mediation takes place in diverse ways throughout the different social and legal systems in the Asia-Pacific region.
The theme of the forum was ‘Developing a Mediation Culture’. The theme was timely, as modern mediation had been introduced to Asia only recently. The forum featured some 25 papers from the four plenary sessions and eight workshops. It provided an invaluable sharing of experiences and the opportunity to network and discuss the latest developments in mediation.
