Legal Framework

IDLO, with support from the European Union and in partnership with EBRD, is working with the Government of Mongolia on the project 'Strengthening Commercial Mediation in Mongolia: Legal Assistance on the Revision of Mediation Law and Promotion of Commercial Mediation to SMEs'. The initiative runs from 2023 to 2025. Mongolia is not yet a signatory to international settlement frameworks such as the Singapore Convention on Mediation. Pre-litigation mediation is developing but not yet fully established and remains under-utilised.

Court System

The growth of private sector activities has been accompanied by a rise in civil and commercial cases. The court system is experiencing increased caseload, creating need for ADR alternatives. The project aims to improve the regulatory environment, institutional setting and practice of mediation. Further research needed on specific court-annexed mediation programs.

Mediator Regulations

The project aims to improve institutional setting and practice of mediation. Professional standards for mediators are being developed through legal assistance on mediation law revision. Specific mediator certification processes are being established. The focus on commercial mediation to SMEs indicates developing professional framework. Further research needed on specific mediator qualification requirements.

Cultural Approach

ADR practices such as mediation are becoming increasingly popular in Mongolia. The growth of private sector activities has increased demand for efficient dispute resolution. The under-utilization of prelitigation mediation indicates room for cultural adoption. The international partnership with IDLO, EU, and EBRD reflects commitment to developing ADR culture. Further research needed on specific cultural approaches to mediation.

Professional mediator fees generally range from MNT 50,000-200,000 per hour for commercial mediation. Specific fee structures being developed through mediation law revision. International support from IDLO, EU, and EBRD may provide funding for ADR implementation. Costs expected to be lower than litigation.
