The JAIAC Mediation Rules are a set of procedural rules covering all aspects of the mediation process in relation to domestic as well as international disputes. The aim of the JAIAC is then to promote mediation as a viable commercial option for parties in the Caribbean region and abroad, as interest-based mediated negotiations can result in settlements that are more satisfactory to all parties than simple compromise decisions. The streamlined rules of the JAIAC ensures that the mediation process addresses the interests of all parties, which in turn preserves the working relationship of the parties and ensures that those who negotiate their own settlements have more control over the outcome of their dispute.
