Legal Construction of Mediator Profession Regulations to Achieve Legal Certainty

Abstract

Peaceful conflict resolution has been practiced in Indonesian society for centuries. Indonesian society has experienced that peaceful dispute resolution has led them to a harmonious, fair, balanced life, and the preservation of communal values within society. Society strives to resolve their disputes quickly while upholding communal values and not infringing upon or suppressing individual freedoms. Indonesian society, like other societies around the world, feels that conflicts or disputes that arise in society should not be allowed to continue indefinitely, but rather efforts should be made to resolve them. The impact of conflicts not only worsens relations between parties but can also disrupt social harmony within society. The type of research used is normative legal research. The urgency of regulating the profession of mediator in the form of a law is aimed at achieving legal certainty, based on the philosophical reasoning that legal certainty can be based on the essence of justice achieved through deliberation, as in the Indonesian legal system, where deliberation is enshrined in the fourth principle of Pancasila. Through deliberation, justice can be achieved for the parties involved to build harmony after a conflict.
