Mediation

Equitable rules for tribalized communities

CHAPTER XVI
EQUITABLE RULES FOR TRIBALISED
COMMUNITIES
Mediation - Individual and societal needs in a legal structure - The intermingling of Western and Eastern legal systems - The de-professionalization of law.
Mediation is a process of conflict resolution which asks the individuals involved in a dispute to reach an equitable solution. It relies on the sense of fairness held by the majority of the population - it upholds the collective morality. During mediation the parties seek to preserve their major interests and continued functioning. It opposes awarding the spoils to the stronger and acknowledges the over arching concern of the social and communal fabric - the collective rights. It conveys an attitude fostering the development of negotiation and cooperation. Mediation sees the world as a web of obligations, concerns, feelings, and thoughts.
