Our Mission

The Network for Disability Inclusion in ADR (NDI-ADR) represents a global commitment to equality within international dispute resolution. Our journey began with a simple but profound observation: while diversity initiatives have made strides, the inclusion of persons with disabilities in ADR has often remained overlooked. We are here to change that narrative through education, advocacy, and strategic collaboration with global stakeholders.
