About Resolve
Resolve was officially incorporated in 2021, although its founders, Sophie Tkemaladze and Sopo Chachava, have been promoting mediation across various countries (Georgia, Ukraine, Armenia, Sri-Lanka, Iraq) for over a decade. The organization operates in three key areas: 1. Developing and delivering training programs, 2. Facilitating and mediating disputes, and 3. Conducting research and providing policy advice on the regulation and implementation of dispute prevention, management, and resolution systems. Resolve brings together highly experienced mediators and trainers and is committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.
Congratulations to Resolve!
IMI Certified Mediator Training Programs, or CMTPs, meet international competency criteria for mediation training excellence. Individuals who complete CMTPs are able to become recognised as ‘IMI Qualified Mediators’. CMTPs can be searched here.
As of June 2021, IMI decided to recognize training delivered in part or entirely online as meeting the standards required of IMI CMTPs. Therefore, the Training Criteria now applies equally to programs that deliver training in-person, in hybrid formats, and online. View IMI’s training criteria.
The minimum standards for training that IMI has set has been accepted by the European Commission for Efficiency of Justice – “CEPEJ“ as the minimum European standard (and indirectly by the EU which accepts and looks onto Council of Europe standards – please see https://www.coe.int/en/web/portal/european-union and the Memorandum of Understanding between the Council of Europe and the European Union). As such, IMI is the only organisation in the world whose standards have been adopted by an intergovernmental standard-setting organisation.
IMI is the only organisation in the world that transcends local jurisdictions to develop global, professional standards for mediators and advocates involved in collaborative dispute resolution and negotiation.
