ABSTRACT
Mediation is one of the most commonly used methods for solving armed conflicts due to
its flexibility allowing parties to freely decide about their participation in the mediation,
the choice of a mediator, and accepting or rejecting the conditions of conflict resolution
established during the mediation process. The article looks at various approaches to mediation, leading to an indication of the nature
and attributes of this method of solving armed conflicts. It also analyses the motives of the
main actors of mediation - the parties’ of the conflict and the mediator, which are taken
into consideration when they decide to start mediation. The research allows a better understanding of the complexity of mediation in an armed
conflict. It enables the motives of the conflicting parties and mediator which have an impact
on the mediation process and result to be identified.
