On 18 March 2023, the General Assembly of the National Commercial Arbitration Centre ("NCAC") adopted three main documents which allows NCAC to provide mediation services. These documents are:
- the Mediation Rules, which set out the procedure and principles for conducting mediation under the auspices of NCAC;
- the Code of Conduct for Mediators, which establishes the ethical standards and professional responsibilities for mediators registered with NCAC; and
- the Rules on Qualification and Registration of Mediator of NCAC, which specify the criteria and process for becoming a mediator accredited by NCAC.
The adoption of the above documents reflects NCAC's commitment to promoting alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in Cambodia and enhancing its services to meet the needs and expectations of its users. NCAC hopes that by offering mediation services, it will help parties resolve their disputes amicably, efficiently and cost-effectively.
