Mediation is a process designed to enable parties to re-establish communication when it has become difficult or non-existent. It enables the parties, through the re-establishment of dialogue, to find a solution or a consensual outcome to an existing conflict, or even to prevent a potential conflict.

Mediation offers the parties the opportunity to freely express their point of view within a framework set by the mediators. It has the advantage of tending towards a satisfactory agreement, born of the parties' own will, aware of the choices made.

The mediator is either a mediator or a mediator's representative.

The mediator is either chosen by the parties, or designated by the authority (e.g.: in criminal mediation, the public prosecutor or juvenile criminal judge refers the case to a sworn mediator).

The mediator verifies that the parties are willing to enter mediation. It would be illusory and contrary to the very essence of mediation to think that a party, when feeling coerced, could participate in working out a fair solution to a dispute.

The mediator's task is to ensure that the parties are willing to enter mediation.

The mediator's task is to set a framework in which the parties can express their points of view with respect for each other and in complete confidentiality. The mediator is impartial, neutral and independent. He helps to re-establish communication between the parties, in a respectful environment. His role is to organize and structure the mediation process. He is neither a judge nor an arbitrator, but promotes the emergence of a consensual solution based solely on the will of the parties. 

At the end of a mediation process, the parties may agree to a settlement, in the form of a written agreement.

Experience shows that an agreement stemming on the one hand from an awareness of the other party's position, or even feelings, and on the other from the parties' desire to find a solution to their dispute, is in most cases respected.
