The Mediation as an alternative measure for conflict resolution
Keywords:
Restorative justice, Alternative measures, Conflict resolution, MediationAbstract
The alternative means for the resolution of adversarial conflicts are tools that the different countries apply to give solutions to the controversies that arise between two parties. In this sense, mediation is one of the main alternative ways and is characterized by the intermediation of a neutral third party to the claim, provided that the parties are willing to resolve their differences. Thus, they become the authors of the solution and agree on mechanisms to return the transgressed peace to the victim. The aim is to ensure that both the victim and the perpetrator can talk, soften their differences and restore the violated social peace, without a third party imposing the result on them, according to the punishable act and when the legislation contemplates said alternative. Mediation is considered one of the forms of restorative justice, where the victim and the aggressor could resolve their conflicts in a different way than the judicial one, since the one considered as a victim will have an active participation in the decision and the aggressor can become aware and responsibility for their actions, a situation that, according to studies, has a positive impact on the author's behavior for reintegration into society; economic, cultural and political.
