In the age of increasing global challenges, resolving disputes through traditional court procedures is often lengthy, expensive, and procedurally complex. In today’s highly competitive environment, both nations and individuals endeavour to secure justice, rights, and remedies through effective institutional mechanisms. This has led to numerous disputes and caused instability worldwide, whether in the Russia-Ukraine war or the Palestine-Israel conflict. The value of ordinary human life is undermined in many international and national disputes. Exploring innovative solutions to resolve disputes, including mediation, conciliation, arbitration, and negotiation, offers hope for millions of people. These mechanisms reduce not only the cost and time involved in settlement but also make justice more accessible and approachable. This paper examines how Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms are driving a transformative shift in the global justice system, aligning with the conference theme “From Tradition to Transformation: Innovative Approaches to Alternative Dispute Resolution.” International instruments that support ADR mechanisms include the United Nations Charter of 1945, the Hague Conventions for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes, and the 1982 Manila Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of International Disputes, among others. This paper also addresses international human rights violations in environmental law disputes, including matters involving the climate justice network Rete Legalità per il Clima, hydrocarbon operations in Congo, and selected UK-based environmental accountability cases. While challenges such as enforceability, procedural fairness, transparency, and the digital divide continue to exist, this research argues for deeper integration of innovative ADR into the national and international human rights arena.
