Abstract
This article is devoted to the scientific study of international legal regulation of such phenomena as mediation through the analysis of the legislation of foreign countries and the national law of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This article presents various points of view of foreign, Russian, and domestic scientists on dispute resolution in the mediation procedure. From a scientific perspective, legal features of dispute resolution in the order of mediation are of particular interest in connection with the relatively new and unexamined phenomenon of modernity, arising from increasing processes of globalization and internationalization of legal systems as well as scientific and technical progress. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the experience of various countries in mediation, including the USA, Germany, Austria, India, and China, which allows us to identify common principles and features of the application of mediation in different legal systems. The experience of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the development of the institution of mediation, its legislative regulation and prospects for further integration within the EAEU are also considered. The study emphasizes the importance of mediation as an effective tool for alternative dispute resolution, which helps reduce the burden on the judicial system and develop a culture of peaceful conflict resolution. The article also discusses the main advantages of mediation, such as confidentiality of the process, saving time and financial resources, as well as the ability to maintain business and personal relationships between the parties to the conflict. Particular attention is paid to the role of the mediator as a neutral intermediary who facilitates effective communication between the parties and the search for mutually beneficial solutions.
