Following the recent accession of Qatar, the United Nation Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation (Singapore Convention on Mediation) will come into force on 12 September 2020. As a Signatory State, Iran is assessing whether to ratify the Singapore Convention. This article illustrates and discusses the challenges and opportunities that Iran and Qatar may face in light of the Singapore Convention. The main focus of this article is on problems facing Iran in relation to the possible ratification of the Singapore Convention. Finally, it determines whether Iran would benefit from the possible implementation. It concludes that, while Qatar may benefit from joining the Singapore Convention, the possible ratification of the Convention in Iran will lead to more challenges than opportunities. For the purpose of developing international commercial mediation in Iran, the UNCITRAL Model Law on Mediation will be an appropriate alternative.

继卡塔尔最近加入后，《联合国调解产生的国际和解协议公约》（新加坡调解公约）将于 2020 年 9 月 12 日生效。作为签署国，伊朗正在评估是否批准《新加坡公约》。本文阐述并讨论了伊朗和卡塔尔根据《新加坡公约》可能面临的挑战和机遇。本文主要关注伊朗在可能批准《新加坡公约》方面面临的问题。最后，它确定伊朗是否会从可能的实施中受益。它的结论是，虽然卡塔尔可能从加入新加坡公约中受益，但伊朗可能批准该公约将带来更多挑战而不是机遇。贸易法委员会调解示范法将是一个合适的替代方案。
