International Mediation and Private International Law

The international regulation of mediation, which is a consensual and flexible process, raises questions in relation to the conflict of laws and whether – and to what extent – unified procedural rules are needed. While issues of applicable laws usually remain at the background of the mediation, in light of UNCITRAL texts and European regulations, parties and mediators should note the impact that national relevant applicable procedural laws may have, in particular at the stage of the judicial review and enforcement of the ‘agreement to mediate’ or the ‘mediated settlement agreement’.
