UK MoJ Consultation on the Singapore Convention

The United Kingdom signed the Singapore Convention on Mediation (United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation, New York, 7 August 2019) on 3 May 2023.

Ahead of the UK’s ratification of the Convention, the Ministry of Justice is seeking views on certain proposals and options for how the Convention might be implemented and operate in the UK.

This is not a full public consultation (hence the absence of information on the UK Government website), but rather a targeted consultation.

Nevertheless, the MoJ is keen to reach a wide stakeholder audience and will be happy to send a copy of the consultation paper to private international law specialists who request it by emailing PIL@justice.gov.uk. The deadline for responses is 15 October 2025.
