I took the liberty of separating the article into US and non-US sections. If this presents a problem, please let me know so we can reach some sort of agreement. F. Lee Horn, [email protected]

Sorry, wiki don't work that way.
The article as written was far too focused on the lawyer's idea of civil mediation between equal-power parties, rather than on a general description of the guarantees mediation assumes and why its different from conciliation, negotiation, mindful mediation, peace processes, and judicial systems. Also why it is often refused in favor of other means (legal or even violent) of settling disputes. It seems to do all that now, without removing the precious lawyers' distinction that the precious U. S. lawyer wants to make. If this presents a problem, get back to me at 1-800-EAT-SHIT
