Mediatorët, also known as intermediaries or conciliators, are individuals or entities that facilitate communication and negotiation between parties in dispute. Their primary role is to help parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement without resorting to litigation or other adversarial processes. Mediators are neutral and impartial, meaning they do not take sides or impose decisions. Instead, they guide the conversation, help identify underlying interests and needs, and explore potential solutions.

The process of mediation typically begins with an agreement from all parties to participate. The mediator then establishes ground rules for the discussion, ensuring a safe and respectful environment. They will often meet with parties individually (caucuses) to understand their perspectives and concerns more deeply before bringing them back together for joint sessions. Throughout the process, the mediator helps parties to communicate effectively, clarify misunderstandings, and brainstorm creative solutions.

Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process. Parties retain control over the outcome and are not obligated to reach an agreement. If an agreement is reached, it is usually formalized in a written settlement document, which can then be made legally binding. Mediation can be used in a wide range of contexts, including family disputes, workplace conflicts, business disagreements, and community issues. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to preserve relationships and provide more flexible and satisfying resolutions than traditional legal battles.
