In recent years, the complex, progressive and violent nature of conflicts indicates that previous attempts at preventing and controlling destructive disputes and ideological clashes have failed and are no longer sufficient to ensure peaceful and productive local and global communities. Praxis Forum is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of education and research in Alternative Dispute Prevention and Resolution, with a focus on promoting non-dual, non-violent, human rights-based, non-symptomatic and therapeutic approaches directed at eliminating or reducing risks and correcting imbalances.
Multidisciplinary Neutrality in Matters of Governance
Multidisciplinary neutrality means that the neutral third party does not rely solely on legal expertise but combines skills from the social sciences, cultural navigation, and industry-specific fields to resolve conflicts. In matters of governance, enterprise risk, and public- or private-sector dispute management, this approach shifts the focus from purely legal arguments to proactive dispute prevention and systemic health. Multidisciplinary neutrality transforms the neutral third party from a passive arbiter of rules into an active facilitator of institutional health, corporate integrity, and social accountability.
We recognize that institutional and corporate peace cannot exist without structural truth. We acknowledge that organizational histories often include systemic actions, policies, and omissions that have caused enduring harm, fractured trust, and created deep power imbalances. This acknowledgement is not a passive reflection but an active commitment to change. We understand that past injuries continue to shape modern realities.
Therefore, we pledge to support institutional and corporate parties in moving forward—not with defensive posturing, but with transparent accountability, active listening, and a dedicated effort to dismantle systemic inequities. We commit to the long-term work of supporting clients in repairing relationships, restoring trust, and ensuring that our present actions honour the dignity of everyone we serve.
