Mediation as a conflict resolution system in the XXI century

In view of the Conference on the Future of Europe (2020-2022) promoted by the European Union, a group of professionals and intellectuals linked to the Foundation for Research on Law and Business (Fide), motivated by the “fruitful celebration of dialogue with citizens” and as members of the organized civil society, have decided to collaborate in the Agora of the Citizens.

To this end, within the topics selected within the framework of Values, Democracy and Digital Transformation, Mediation has been chosen as a model for the XNUMXst century with regard to the peaceful settlement of disputes. For this, the specialization of the component members of this Working Group in matters related to Mediation and the bet that Fide has done with the creation of the Mediation Center Fide (CMF).

The working group Fide formulate the following proposals:

First: The public and private empowerment of mediation as a conflict resolution system because it favors social cohesion and allows States to release judicial resources.

Monday: The creation of a common regulatory framework at European level that allows the development of mediation in the widest possible scope, including not only Civil or Commercial conflicts, but also public law conflicts.

Third: Impact study on European legislation that allows Member States to jointly adhere to the Singapore Convention.

Quarter: Incorporate into European legislation a review of the Mediation Directive that allows for the development of digital mediation.

Thursday: All legal professionals must know the mediation process, from university studies of the legal professions to incorporate it into their advice as an appropriate means of resolving certain conflicts and acquire the necessary skills to participate in it.

Friday: It is necessary to develop institutions and highly qualified professionals for the provision of the mediation service. The contribution of the Administration, companies, institutions and citizens will be decisive for this.

Seventh: Incorporating the form of resolution of conflicts by the companies, and especially the Mediation, between the headings that can be included in the Non-Financial Information the Annual Accounts of the companies.

Eighth: The incorporation into the procedural rules of potential economic consequences for the parties who do not attend mediation in good faith prior to the process (or during it).
