Network of UN System Ombudsman and Mediators


ABOUT THE NETWORK

The Network brings together conflict resolution professionals responsible for the informal conflict resolution functions in the UN System. They serve roughly 125,000 UN System staff in addressing workplace disputes, building conflict competence, and providing systemic feedback within their organizations.

The Network provides a forum for ombudsman and mediators to exchange information and collaborate on issues of common interest; to explore together their general applicability to informal conflict resolution functions, enhance the professional capacity of the informal conflict resolution functions; and promoting common standard of practice among member organizations.

At the UN System level, the Network engages with the UN System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB).

The goal of the Network is that each UN employee has access to informal conflict resolution services.
