Mediation Application Areas in the Republic of Belarus and Essentials of Family Mediation Legal Regulation
The introduction of the institution of mediation into the Belarusian legislation took place in 2013, and since that time there has been an expansion of the scope of its practical application. Using the analysis method in the study three groups of mediation application areas in the Republic of Belarus were identified: the most popular mediation application areas (family mediation; commercial mediation; mediation in criminal proceedings); potentially demand mediation spheres (school mediation; environmental mediation; labor mediation); not applicable (guardianship; adoption; domestic violence). A legal description of the institution of family mediation in the Republic of Belarus has been developed and proposals to improve legislation in the field of family mediation have been formulated.
