Alternative Dispute Resolution has superior benefits – GNAAP president

The use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in settling conflicts has superior benefits compared to the court system, President of the Ghana National Association of ADR Practitioners (GNAAP), Mr Daniel Owusu-Koranteng has said.

“Beyond the cost effectiveness and timely benefits of ADR, it is able to reconcile disputants to de-escalate conflicts and prevent them from degenerating to vio­lent levels,” he said.

Mr Owusu-Koranteng made these remarks at the graduation ceremony of 48 graduates who had completed the Executive Master in Professional ADR at the Institute of Paralegal Training and Leadership Studies (IPLS) in Accra over the weekend.

He therefore, called on the government to support the training of ADR professionals and ensure that people appointed to positions of responsibility and trust have training in ADR since conflict resolution was a key man­agement function.
