Mexico was notably represented by Antonio M. Prida Peón del Valle in his capacity of President of the Comité de Mediación del Capítulo Mexicano and of the Cámara Internacional de Comercio, and also by Francisco González de Cossío, in his capacity of President of the Instituto Mexicano de la Mediación.
In this article, Antonio M. Prida Peón del Valle referred to mediation as the most civilized mechanism to solve disputes, to the fact that it is sub-utilized due to the sufficient lack of knowledge from society and the lawyers sector worldwide. He also focused on the concern of mediators and users of mediation with respect to the execution of agreements built by the parties during such kind of procedures, issue that the Singapore Convention addresses particularly well. He concludes the article supporting the idea that Mexico signs such Convention and to use this opportunity to increase awareness of mediation globally.
