About the Conference
Insurgency within the country has been a content of discord for many States for ages. India is facing armed conflicts within its boundaries for decades and history narrates that it has only grown to the extent of horrendous contours. Insurgency is a global phenomenon in modern-day politics around the world. Politics has a greater role in pacifying the damage done to these people but it has failed in mitigating the damage and restitution of the loss.
In developing nations of the world especially South Asian and African countries, armed conflict or armed rebellion can be identified as the biggest roadblock in implementing welfare and developmental policies. Insurgency not only creates a problem for the innocent citizenry but also creates a void of opportunities for militant groups as well. Armed rebellions are often categorized as demonic and anti-social groups engaged in violence to assert their human rights, but the past has shown that it has been no good to the already deprived and marginalised group of individuals.
Currently, India is facing an insurgency in Northern, North-eastern, Central, and Southern States where the militant groups are in direct conflict with the government. There are varied reasons throughout India for the growth of militancy but deprivation and marginalization have played a major role in the evolution of insurgency. These groups have made it difficult for the State to execute and implement welfare activities in the militant affected areas.
The phenomenon of insurgency is leading to major global issues such as hunger, loss of habitat, malnutrition, non-education, and deprivation of their human rights. The state being the parens patrie carries an obligation to protect the rights of its citizen and at the same time, it has to safeguard and find ways to deal with these groups with iron hands.
India has strict legislations such as AFSPA, UAPA & NSA etc., to deal with any kind of anti-national activity under the pretext of insurgency. These legislations are often labelled as draconian and violators of fundamentals rights of the citizens as they provide special powers to the state authorities in dealing with armed rebellions.
The theme of the conference revolves around the cross-cutting global issues of human rights with reference to the phenomenon of militancy around the world. The theme of the conference primarily focuses on the issues of human rights violation of the militant groups viz a viz the powers of the Armed forces but it is not only limited to the issues of human rights of these groups.

About Mediation and Conciliation Project Committe(MCPC) Supreme Court of India
Keeping in view the legislative mandate and the spirit of Section 89 of Code of Civil Procedure, the MCPC was constituted by Supreme Court of India to oversee the effective implementation of Mediation and Conciliation in the country.
About the Conference
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a tool to achieve goal of speedy, equitable and adequate justice. This becomes pertinent because traditional approach has failed to solve the chronic problem of delayed justice.
In addition to above, a welfare state like India, where justice occupies uncompromising stature, it calls for greater and focused attention. In this regard, ADR is one such creative approach which will help in achieving justice through securing faster and adequate justice for the masses so that the true meaning of justice is realized.
A variety of disputes are amenable to mediation including commercial, contractual, business, corporate, employment, intellectual property, matrimonial disputes etc. Mediation as a mode of Alternative Dispute Resolution is playing a pivotal role in providing justice to common people. It is empowering common people in the society and imparting justice in a cost effective and expeditious manner.
The thought that has necessitated for organizing such a conference is that the awareness of people regarding their rights has increased in recent times. Such increase has boosted the confidence of common man and enhanced his willingness to undertake litigation.
Unfortunately, the infrastructure with the state has not increased commensurately resulting in backlog of cases. The increment and presence of backlogs have been causing an excruciating delay in the administration of justice.
It was reported that millions of cases are pending in various courts across the country and India is facing unprecedented “litigation explosion”. As per the last census by Ministery of Law and justice the ratio of judges million 17.48%. However, a novel course of action is required as a remedy to this malaise which serves as a compliment to the traditional judicial system, there by helping to reduce the heavy burden of litigation and at the same time not compromising with the standards of equity, justice and good conscience.
Mediation as an ADR mechanism is a process of resolving disputes with the help of a third neutral person who assists the parties at dispute to reach a negotiated resolution. It is voluntary, party centered and structured negotiation process in which a third neutral person assists the parties in amicably resolving their disputes.
In a country like India, where the course of development is skewed and affecting each and every citizen, the demand for justice is increasing at greater pace given the fact that major chunk of our population still remains marginalized, deprived and destitute. However, the cost of litigation has risen exponentially, threatening these sections of society to claim what is their legitimate right.
The concept of ADR is not new to India and has existed since ancient times. The tribes and villages in India are still pursuing such traditional methods of dispute resolution. Thus, mediation as a process of dispute resolution is not new to our nation, what is required in the changed social scenario is an effective adaptation of the traditional methodology to the new conditions. This calls for untiring efforts and devotion to be dutifully put into this process, right from its inception to its culmination into an effective practice.
The conference also becomes pertinent in the light of new Draft Bill on Mediation introduced in 2021. The Draft Bill aims to facilitate and promote mediation in India, particularly institutional mediation for the resolution of disputes, encourage community mediation, and make online mediation an acceptable and cost effective process and therefore this conference is a small step to achieve a greater good for the society.

Centre for International Trade Law (CITL) is a research centre of National Law University Odisha (NLUO), set up in 2015 with the vision of encouraging research in the domain of international trade law through a wide variety of activities including webinars, conferences, publications etc.
The Centre has published a book on ‘Trade Facilitation and the WTO’ in collaboration with the Cambridge Scholars Press.
About the Webinar
The WTO is a trade organization but its scope is expanding to the control and regulation of production as well. The fisheries agreement currently being negotiated is the latest example. The increasing concern about the consequences of growth in trade and consumerism for the ecology of the planet has intensified the trade and environment debate.
But tussle continues as to which side the concept of sustainable development should tilt, on the side of the environment or development. The lack of consensus on the draft Fisheries Agreement under the WTO is a reflection of this tussle.
The idea of sustainable fishing is based on the US policy of Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) adopted in 1948. Although claimed to be based on science it was guided more by international politics and economics.
Writers have since long criticized MSY and attributed the depletion of fish stocks to US policy and industrial fishing. Scientists argue that the ocean is different and techniques and policies employed for agriculture management cannot be transposed to manage the ocean environment.
Instead of concentrating on particular fish species, the focus should be on the assemblage of fish species. The draft Agreement appears to be based on the MSY policy.
Moreover, the draft lacks the support of many developing countries. This is because the provisions relating to subsidies allegedly do not take into account the concerns of coastal less developed countries and their farmers for whom subsidy is a question of livelihood.
Submission Guidelines
Original papers within 5000 words are invited from teachers, researchers, students and others for presentation in the webinar.
The paper is to be written in Times New Roman, Font Size: Heading-14, Text-12 in A4 format, Line Spacing-1.5, Alignment-Justified.
Authors are requested to adhere to the Bluebook (21st ed.) citation format for footnoting in Times New Roman Font 10 size with Line Spacing-1.
There can be a maximum of one Co-Author on a paper.
All submissions (Abstract and full-length paper) must be made in .doc or .docx format only.
The Abstract and full-length paper should be in English language. The working language of webinar and presentations shall be English.
Only one paper per participant will be permitted. Multiple submissions will lead to disqualification. Papers may relate to but are not limited to the topics mentioned below:
Challenges for the preservation of fish stocks
International initiatives for the preservation of fisheries
Impact of international trade on fisheries
Contribution of subsidies to the depletion of fish stocks
Livelihood of small fishermen in developing countries
Prospective participants may contribute to any other issue related to the webinar topic.

If people are allowed to participate in the political process, only then a political system can be described as a Democratic one and for participation voting right is the most effective way to participate in the governance of the nation.
