The event aims to create a global framework for protecting rights, preserving family ties, and promoting social stability.\n\nOrganized by Qatar University's Colleges of Sharia and Islamic Studies and Law, in collaboration with the Supreme Judiciary Council and the Ministry of Social Development and Family, the conference seeks to address contemporary family challenges and establish an Islamic legal basis for mediation.\n\nThe proposed charter aims to respond to the need for ethical standards in mediation practices while considering religious, legal, judicial, and social dimensions. Scholars, researchers, and experts will gather to examine these aspects of family mediation.\n\nQatar's Head of the Follow-up Affairs Office at the Family Court, Judge Hareb Al Mohannadi, emphasized the importance of family protection in the country's constitution. He noted that mediation can strengthen family justice by facilitating amicable dispute resolution, preserving family relationships, and reducing court burdens.\n\nJudge Al Mohannadi highlighted the partnership between the Family Court and Qatar University, which has led to the graduation of the first mediation diploma cohort and ongoing enrollment in the second cohort. The conference will provide a platform to develop common principles for family mediation, combining religious guidance, legal safeguards, and professional ethics to support families in Qatar and across the globe.",
