The Institute
of Conflict Resolution /ICR/ - Sofia is an association of lawyers,
researchers and university professors. The ICR was founded in 2000 to help
establish new forms of conflict resolution as a legitimate part of the
Bulgarian legal system. It follows a number of objectives, including: the
exploration of creative conflict resolution methods; the promotion of
action for change; the practice of new skills and techniques like
mediation, negotiation and other non-violent methods; the stimulation of
dialogue among practitioners, policy-makers and researchers about
innovative methods of conflict resolution, promotion of the development of
effective restorative justice policies, services and legislation in
Bulgaria. ICR does research on new forms of conflict resolution;
disseminates information about restorative justice among all interested
groups; supports public education aimed at increasing awareness about
issues for victims, offenders and the community; promotes exchange of ideas
and mutual help.
