The creation of a global network of professionals will help families access mediators specialised in cross-border family conflicts.

ISS wants to gather mediation professionals from all continents to establish jointly an accreditation system which guarantees standards of professional conduct.

The multilingual website can host a register of mediators located in the different countries.

Preparation will consist in coordinating all actors of international family mediation coming from different regions and elaborating a base for the joint consultation on the international charter and an accreditation system which will be recognised by States. The consultation will take place in Geneva in fall of 2015.
