Mission Statement
“Grounded in professionalism and independence,
we build a mediation culture that everyone can trust”
The Korea Mediation Institute sets the professional and ethical standards for mediators, helping parties in dispute to respect one another and reach peaceful agreement.
We believe that mediation is not merely a tool for resolving legal disputes — it is a vital method for repairing relationships and reducing social conflict.
On this conviction, KMI commits to advancing mediator professionalism, safeguarding independence, and realizing fairness.
Core Values
Mediators are experts in resolving disputes. KMI continuously develops members' expertise so it is recognized by society.
Fair mediation requires that mediators be free from any external influence. KMI safeguards the independent standing of its members.
We pursue dispute resolution in which every party is treated equally, offering an unbiased perspective that earns universal trust.
We build a network where mediators learn from and support one another, expanding the dispute-resolution ecosystem together.
