An analysis of the characteristics of cross-cultural disputes leads to principles upon which the resolution of these disputes should be based. These principles are: having the primary goal of creation and maintenance of long-term working relationships, accounting for the parties affected, addressing the whole dispute, building trust, and undertaking empathic dialogue. / We can look at existing dispute resolution mechanisms and determine the extent to which the principles of cross-cultural dispute resolution can be incorporated, given the particular structure of a form of legal decision-making. Using the Yukon land claim negotiations as an example, the principles for cross-cultural dispute resolution can assist in the analysis of different processes. / By using the principles as a basis for a dispute resolution mechanism, cross-cultural disputes can be more effectively resolved. A dispute resolution mechanism that accounts for the characteristics of a culturally plural society benefits the whole society by ensuring more effective communication between cultures and communities, and better relationships over the long term.
