China & 20+ Global South nations launch the International Organization for Mediation, a treaty-based rival to the ICJ.

The IOM pursues "win-win" mediation, prioritizing restored relations.

• Lets Global South bypass Western-designed institutions.

• It's a symptom of decaying western led world order.
