The International Mediation & Arbitration Centre (IMAC), under the Ministry of Law and Justice, successfully concluded a One-Day Training on Arbitration at University Law College, Quetta.

Hon'ble Justice Iqbal Ahmed Kasi of the High Court of Balochistan graced the concluding ceremony as Chief Guest. Justice Kasi emphasized that mediation and arbitration are not foreign imports but are deeply rooted in Pakistan's traditions. He highlighted that ADR offers a credible, cost-effective, and expeditious pathway to reduce the backlog of cases.
