Adoption of a historic resolution at the ISS IC in Melbourne, Australia

ISS Members recently participated at the ISS International Council to discuss emerging social challenges affecting children and families on the move. The necessity to collaborate as a network and further develop and expand well targeted individualized services addressing the complex needs of migrant families and children was also discussed in detail.
One of the outcomes of the IC was the adoption of a historic resolution, deciding unanimously for the membership expansion by giving the opportunity to more organizations adhering to ISS working principles, to join as members and actively participate in policy and decision making. The Secretary General, closed the meeting by stating that "ISS has taken the right decision in terms of membership structure. ISS is now better equipped to serve more and more children and families on the move and to serve better".

Une concertation professionnelle pour la rédaction d'une charte éthique internationale

La création d'un réseau centralisé mondial de médiateurs permettra aux familles de trouver facilement des médiateurs professionnels spécialisés en conflits familiaux à caractère international.

Pour ce faire, le SSI cherche à fédérer les professionnels de la médiation familiale des cinq continents pour élaborer un système d'affiliation qui garantisse des standards de conduite professionnelle.

Le site multilingue permettra d'abriter un répertoire de médiateurs localisés dans les différents pays du monde. Le travail de préparation consistera à coordonner les acteurs de la médiation familiale internationale dans les différentes régions et à établir une base de travail en vue de l'adoption d'une charte internationale et d'un système d'affiliation reconnu.

A l'issue de ce projet le SSI organisera une concertation professionnelle à Genève avec tous ces acteurs présents.
