Abstract

Mediation is a method of dispute resolution involving a neutral third party who tries to help the disputing parties reach a mutually agreeable solution. In Indonesia, mediation is divided into court annexed mediation and out of court mediation. Court annexed mediation is regulated in SCR 1/2016. Meanwhile, the legal basis for out of court mediation is scattered across industrial sectors. The trend in Indonesia, of both court-annexed mediation and out of court mediation, has been increasing over years. Based on the available data, it can be concluded that out of court mediation has a higher success rate than court-annexed mediation. The SCM is an international convention or agreement regarding the recognition of settlement agreements resulting from mediation. Right now, Indonesia has not signed and ratified the SCM. To sign and ratify the SCM, Indonesia must prepare the regulatory basis to implement the SCM, namely by amending or updating the current legislation, Law 30/199 and SCR 1/2016, to cover the legal basis for implementing SCM.
