Abstract

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms have the potential to replace more traditional approaches to conflict resolution.

A neutral third party is typically used in ADR to facilitate communication, conflict resolution, and discussion between the parties. It is a technique that allows people and groups to uphold societal order and cooperation and offers the chance to lessen hostility. in ADR to facilitate communication, conflict resolution, and discussion between the parties.
