A New Era of Recognition in Mediation Diplomacy
A New Era of Recognition in Mediation Diplomacy
The International Association of Mediators and Poly-Experts (IAMPE) proudly introduces the IAMPE Awards for Mediation Diplomacy and Global Peacebuilding — a tribute to women whose vision, courage, and leadership redefine the meaning of peace in the modern world.
Established in 2025, the IAMPE Awards celebrate the legacy of three extraordinary historical figures — Queen Tamar of Georgia (Tamar Mepe), Diana Abgar (Armenia–Japan), and Palma Guillén (Mexico) — whose diplomatic wisdom and moral strength continue to inspire new generations of mediators and peace architects.
Each award embodies a timeless ideal of diplomacy — justice, knowledge, and compassion.
“Feminae Pacem Creant”
About the Award
About the Award
The HERA LEGACY: DOMINA PACIS is the highest honor conferred within the International Association of Mediators and Poly-Experts (IAMPE).
It celebrates the timeless lineage of women who have shaped diplomacy and peace — from ancient rulers to modern mediators — weaving myth, history, and humanity into one living tradition.
Inspired by the divine feminine triad — Hera, Athena, and Eirene — the award reflects the three pillars of mediation diplomacy: justice, wisdom, and peace.
Each year, IAMPE honors three women whose lives embody these principles, continuing the moral architecture of global harmony.
