Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the subject composition of the administrative and legal regulation of mediation. The development of alternative ways of resolving disputes and conciliation procedures is one of the priority areas for improving the mechanism for protecting violated subjective rights. Mediation has proven its effectiveness for both the state and society, as evidenced by its legal regulation in most foreign countries. A dispute resolution procedure involving a neutral third party can improve access to justice, which is fully in line with the rule of law in any developed state governed by the rule of law. New tendencies towards the peaceful settlement of disputes (conflicts) contribute to the achievement of social harmony in society. As Ukraine is one of the few countries in Europe where there is no legal regulation of mediation, the study of the subjects of administrative and legal regulation of the procedure is relevant. The study took into account the division of legal regulation into state and non-state. Domestic scientific views on the system of subjects of administrative and legal regulation in various spheres of public relations were analyzed. The problem of lack of administrative and legal regulation of the social and legal institution of mediation in Ukraine was emphasized. The author proposed his own list of subjects of administrative and legal regulation of mediation. The system of such entities includes the state, its bodies and non-governmental institutions that exercise powers in the relevant field. The main directions of the state policy in the field of implementation of the mediation procedure in Ukraine were also identified. The importance of actively promoting and stimulating the development of mediation, consolidation and protection of new social relations that arise during the mediation procedure, setting quality standards for mediation and requirements for professional mediators, control of such activities. The author focuses on the disclosure of competence, legal forms of activity of management entities. It is stated that the main subjects of mediation`s regulation in Ukraine are the President of Ukraine, the Parliament of Ukraine, the Parliament’s Commissioner for Human Rights, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, the Supreme Court, local state administrations, NGOs and mediators' associations. It is substantiated that this list can be expanded by a special executive body in the field of mediation. Based on the analysis of current legislation, rule-making and law enforcement practice of Ukraine and European countries, a scientific approach to solving current problems of formation and implementation of state policy in the field of access to justice and mediation is proposed. It is proposed to keep registers of mediation by both central executive bodies and local state bodies or local self-government bodies. The successful foreign experience of functioning of the corresponding mediation services in various branches of law is resulted.
