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".

Islam, Sharia and Alternative Dispute Resolution, Mechanisms for legal Redress in the Muslim Community - Read Quotes

"This manual, written in simple language with input from some of the world's leading practitioners in the field, is very necessary today in explaining the values of family mediation to peoples of all cultures, traditions and backgrounds.

Often, when disputes arise, people get locked into adversarial positions where the primary issues get obfuscated.

The manual is aimed at socialising people throughout the world to the value of collaboration in developing conflict resolution arrangements among themselves and indeed finding solutions that are durable.

In today's resource- limited world with competing demands, such an approach is the only sensible way forward if we want to develop a functional and healthy civil society.

I fully endorse this endeavour".
