Book Abstract:

In the light of the embarrassing lack of coherent Arabic sources when it comes to the rich filed of mediation; comes this work as the first comprehensible Arabic reference that reflects mediation knowledge and experience from international jurisdictions such as USA, Canada, Australia, Germany and UK. The book presents to the Arab readers the essence, potentials, current and debatable topics about the mediation concept and process, all in an appealing, culture friendly and adequate Arabic language. The book covers topics such as; mediation definition, values, process, neutrality and confidentiality. Moreover, it addresses the relationship between mediation, law and justice, and the concept of mediation informed consent. The book sends a call to the Arab governments, academics, legal elites and peacemakers to take reforms to embrace mediation and integrate it in the formal justice systems, law schools’ syllabuses and the different communities’ initiatives; allowing the Arab countries to benefit from all the positive potentials of mediation.
