Conflict Resolution Network/Caribbean - Hosted by ACRIS

The Association for Conflict Resolution's International Section (ACRIS) established Regional Networks to support our members and colleagues around the world, and to promote conflict resolution capacity building. We encourage ACR members and non-members alike to join together to expand our field worldwide. The goal of the Regional Networks is to provide practitioners and conflict resolution organizations across the globe with mechanisms to strengthen networking, facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences, and promote a culture of conflict resolution in particular geographic regions.

Caribbean Network Coordinator Kumar Hathiramani holds a B.S. in Business Administration, M.A. in Conflict Resolution, and a Diploma in Paralegal studies. In April 2005, he was appointed as a Justice of the Peace in Barbados.  A certified mediator, Kumar is one of the founding members and first president of the ADR Association of Barbados, Inc. This NGO has trained members in conflict resolution skills in an effort to introduce mediation as a primary method of resolving disputes. The Association seeks to preserve the highest standards of integrity, competence, honour, and professionalism amongst those engaged in mediation practices and training.
