ONE: <o:p></o:p>

Dispute is inevitable, where there is dispute, Bibek (Conscience) is needed to be applied, no bibek no resolution, no resolution no peace. Use Bibeker Adalat (Court of Conscience).<o:p></o:p>

TWO:<o:p></o:p>

No resolution without compromise, no compromise without sacrifice, no sacrifice no peace. Be courageous to sacrifice.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

THREE: <o:p></o:p>

Change vision into action; help resolve dispute using talent, technology and trust. Allow the disputants to resolve dispute through Negotiation first, if not, act as a Mediator. <o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

FOUR:<o:p></o:p>

A Mediator must be an impartial motivator, allow the parties to decide and be in the front line when in need, and be brave to help conquer their fear to reach a common goal. Build and use intellectual capacity.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

FIVE:<o:p></o:p>

'''Researching Mediation – a pioneering initiative<o:p></o:p>'''

For the last two decades or so the researcher has been preaching and practicing conflict management and in particular, during the past five years, his conviction to mediation inspired him to give a drive to develop a model of mediation mechanism to resolve disputes among disputants and litigants with the help of a group of lawyers and members of judiciary in Bangladesh. Throughout the whole process about 1000 lawyers, judges, police officers, teachers, NGO managers & professionals participated in group & open discussions, in role play exercises, in workshops and actively contributed in developing the model mediation procedures and process, model mediation skills and techniques, model mediation rules and model code of conduct for the mediators etc., finally giving the shape of '''Court of Conscience – A Bangladesh Model of Mediation Mechanism'''; encompassed in '''Mediation Grid''' positioning the model tools into action through effective application of '''Mediation 3S, '''developed on experimental basis; finally naming the research steps as '''Bibeker Adalat''' ('''Court of Conscience) : Mediation 3S Model'''. <o:p></o:p>

'''''<o:p> </o:p>'''''

'''Court of Conscience – A Bangladesh Model of Mediation Mechanism''', a harmonizing approach to Judicial Justice System, activating sense of duty, building relationship between the disputants through the spirit of God, and is founded on ''Mediation 3S'', the ultimate power of Bibeker Adalat; comprising of humane approaches, addressing the dispute through a mediator, humanizing conscience, synergizing self-determination and resolving dispute for peace and harmony achieving shared satisfaction; a generated third option. <o:p></o:p>

'''<o:p> </o:p>'''

'''Mediation 3S''' is, in fact, a combined action (working together) using synergy with compromising attitude (a filtering process) and respecting rights of self-determination of the parties (interaction of two acting separately - a giving & sharing strategy) involved in facilitated negotiation in mediate manner (using skills & techniques) for shared satisfaction to meet ultimate challenges. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

'''3S '''is a Process to increase efficiency of remedy of the''' Mediator. 3S Mediator''' is in the middle between two separate parties with strong determination, as equal friend of each, to work together to intervene the dispute observing rules, procedures and code of conducts, in a mediate manner applying appropriate process, skills and techniques, for the purpose of effecting a reconciliation or agreement, maintaining dignity of the good offices of the Mediator.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

'''Bibeker Adalat (Court of Conscience) – Mediation 3S Model'' '''''has been successfully designed to use the principles of mediation to resolve disputes and litigations'' ''in personal, professional, community, country and even in international levels with immediate aim to reduce huge backlog of court cases, to control corruption, to empower man & women and finally to transform litigation culture to mediation culture, and strengthening Rule of Law & Democracy in the country. In broader context, the very basic human disputes are universal, and hence, the Bangladesh Model can also equally be applied globally. <o:p></o:p>

'''<o:p> </o:p>'''

'''Self-Determination: A Political Philosophy <o:p></o:p>'''

The United States was founded on the principle of Synergy, got together divergent thinkers like Adams, Madison and Hamilton and produced a miracle of synergy in the American Constitution. Likewise, Bangladesh was founded on the basis of the right of Self-Determination, a political philosophy of the father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, specified in the proclamation of independence of the Mujibnagar Government on the 10th day of April, 1971, incorporated as the seventh schedule [Article 150(2)] in the Constitution of Bangladesh. Self-Determination is also the basic principle of Mediation, an ADR Mechanism.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

'''Synergizing Self-Determination<o:p></o:p>'''

Considering the findings, derived from the conceptual frame work, the researcher has applied the political philosophy of right of self-determination, combined the same with synergy to build humane relationship between disputants and litigants and to resolve their disputes for shared satisfaction instead of traditional win-win situation in Mediation, and titled the process as the '''Mediation 3S.<o:p></o:p>'''

<o:p> </o:p>

'''Mediation 3S, '''comprises of humane approaches, is transparent, accessible and equal to all the parties involved in dispute resolution process; a device to effective communication to compromise with conscience using '''Mediation Grid'''; an ultimate energy to connect'' '''''Bibeker Adalat'''''('''''Court of Conscience) – A Bangladesh Model of Mediation Mechanism'''. <o:p></o:p>

Mediation 3S Steps<o:p></o:p>

'''<o:p> </o:p>'''

'''<o:p> </o:p>'''

'''Step 1<o:p></o:p>'''

''Addressing the dispute through a '''mediator''' ensuring '''transparency '''by way of''' collaboration'''; <o:p></o:p>''

<o:p> </o:p>

'''Step 2<o:p></o:p>'''

''Connecting to Conscience (Bibek) in '''analyzing & bargaining''' process, making the parties accountable to their cognizant through '''humanizing conscience''', widening accessibility by means of '''effective communication'''; <o:p></o:p>''

<o:p> </o:p>

'''Step 3<o:p></o:p>'''

''Deciding jointly respecting the parties’ values & interests through '''synergizing self-determination''', compromising on equality & intervening with mediate manner with '''co-operation'''; and <o:p></o:p>''

<o:p> </o:p>

'''Step 4<o:p></o:p>'''

''Achieving '''Shared Satisfaction '''from their own Court of Conscience (Bibeker Adalat), a mechanism resolving dispute through sharing needs and positive power attitude for peace and harmony. <o:p></o:p>''

''<o:p> </o:p>''

'''Mediation 3S''' can generally be applied to all ADR Mechanisms, in particular to Private and Judicial Mediation. The Method helps strengthening relationships, solving problems, freeing tension, building better understanding and securing better working and living environment. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

The steps of the '''Mediation''' '''3S''' are historically found to be logical & proved and jurisprudentially sound & respected universally.<o:p></o:p>

'''Implementation Process:<o:p></o:p>'''

Originally, the researcher was interested only to concentrate investigating on ‘Consensual Justice System’, but the research approaches led him to install an ADR training project on pilot basis to collect data & information on Government initiatives, ADR laws, Rules, Code of Conduct, Med-Arb Clause, designing mediation procedures, process and techniques etc. All of them ultimately led the researcher to form Bibeker Adalat (Court of Conscience) as the title and philosophical base of the mediation mechanism to implement the model as a whole from professional-practitioner to the grassroot level mediators.<o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

From the outcome of the research, the researcher has strengthened the Bibeker Adalat – A Bangladesh Model of Mediation Mechanism with Mediation 3S Processor and renamed the whole work as '''Bibeker Adalat (Court of Conscience) : Mediation 3S Model'''. To implement the same, on experimental basis he opened up the Dhaka Mediation Centre; following the same prototype mediation centres are expected to be established in all over Bangladesh side by side with ongoing Shalish with trained mediators giving professionalism. The research is an on-going process, accordingly, the contents will be up-dated from time to time to make '''Bibeker Adalat – Mediation 3S Model''' more effective. <o:p></o:p>

Three pillars of the ADR infrastructure have been built successfully, leaving ‘ADR Council’ to be formed & installed by the government. Bangladesh Institute of Legal Advancements (BILA) – a pioneer ADR training institute, JURISCONSULTS: Dhaka Mediation Centre and Bangladesh Mediators Association (BMA) – a professional body for the Mediators are already in action in Bangladesh. All these are formed from the private sector ensuring effective sustainability of Mediation Practice. <o:p></o:p>

''After careful analysis of the ingredients, the researcher defined the term ADR as: ‘''''the generic term Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a real, practical and traditional approach of outside court justice system, saves time and money, uses simple common sense of the common people of the society with the guidance of the experts, respects community beliefs & values, acts to preserve peace and harmony among the parties, resolves disputes with assistance of neutral persons, involves with a range of processes like negotiation, mediation, arbitration, conciliation, ombudsman or even malpractice screening panel as appropriate; and creates an innovative dimension in legal profession for better effectiveness of the over-all justice delivery system’'''''. <o:p></o:p>

''... like CPC, new provisions in the CrPC is needed to be inserted to confirm that through Mediation, criminal offences can also be settled. With the changes of the provisions, rules and code of conducts are also needed to be formed for better effectiveness of Mediations for both the civil disputes and criminal offences; in addition to creating awareness of the litigants and disputants, training the mediators, lawyers and judges; introducing on-line Mediation (as an essential component of digital Bangladesh); and of course, establishing uniformed national system of Mediation in Bangladesh. For all of these to put into action intensive research and vigorous consultation is urgently required to be undertaken by the experts from within the country. <o:p></o:p>''

''Mediation is the process of resolving disputes by mutual agreement to financial or non-financial forms, through a facilitator, who is known as a ‘Mediator’, assists the process of negotiation by combining ‘Facilitative’, ‘Evaluative’ and ‘Transformative’ processes. A Mediator must comply with the laws, rules and codes of behaviour in conducting mediation from the beginning to the end ...<o:p></o:p>''

''Since mediation laws are available but not much in action, as the system was never popularized neither among the disputants and litigants nor the judges and the lawyers nor among other professionals from concerning sectors; because no active initiatives were taken by the authorities concern to train the judges and lawyers to act mediators. <o:p></o:p>''

''To me, the basic difference between JJS (Judicial Justice System) and CJS (Consensual Justice System) is ‘human’ and ‘humane’ respectively, JJS awards the winners and punishes the losers, on the other hand, CJS is based on social consciousness and moral obligation with voluntary participation to restore social harmony and peace; with reasoning, spirit and desire of the individuals involved in the dispute or conflict.<o:p></o:p>''
