In recent times the leadership of Ghana's Judiciary are making decidedly determined efforts to initiate and cultivate the culture of Alternative Dispute Resolution in the mix of the court litigated and court burdened system.

We started a discussion on Interest-Based Negotiation and we mentioned some seven elements of it. Today we begin the first of a series of discussions on the elements of IBN. We start with INTERESTS.We hope that the interval between the last post on IBN and this post is good enough to help us adjust to the subject matter.INTERESTSNegotiating based on interests has many positive attributes to it.

Negotiation is very much like Mediation. Except that in the case of Negotiation it is not necessarily occasioned by a dispute. Often times it can be handled by the parties involved unless it requires some form of specialty in negotiation or in the subject matter.Therefore everyone negotiates.The difference is the method/tools Mediators and Negotiators have access to in their mediator/negotiator
