Based on ISS experience and input from international experts, the practical guide, very visual and easy to use, discusses all issues related to recourse to international family mediation in seven chapters.

It advises families caught up in a cross-border dispute how to move forward and how they can take benefit from mediation.

This Guide is intended for families all over the world – regardless of their origin, religion and composition – that are experiencing conflict with cross-border elements.
It emphasises that the interests of the children are at the core of international family mediation and depicts the emotional impact of parental disputes and child abductions on children to draw the parents' attention to some risks that are often underestimated.

It recommends international family mediation not as a miracle solution to all the problems that families face during separation across national borders, but as a simple, pragmatic and professional avenue of conflict resolution that ensures individual rights and complements any legal proceedings to settle the disputes.
