The role of the lawyer in international mediation

The National Code of Ethics for Mediators defines mediation, whether judicial or conventional, as "a structured process based on the responsibility and autonomy of the participants which, voluntarily, with the help of a neutral, impartial, independent third party with no decision-making or consultative powers, promotes, through confidential discussions, the establishment and/or re-establishment of links, the prevention and resolution of conflicts". In view of the skills developed in the course of their training and the exercise of their functions, lawyers could intervene in international peace mediation, as mediators or auxiliaries to justice, subject to conditions that have yet to be established.
