About this service
A mediator's trustworthiness rests on three pillars: transparency about circumstances that may threaten independence, the confidentiality of the process, and professional accountability. Articles 6, 10, 15-1 and 15-2 of the Law on Mediation assemble exactly these pillars — in which cases a person may act as mediator, what information remains protected, and who holds a mediator answerable for an ethics violation and how. This page orients both mediators and parties in applying these rules.
