Mediation illustrates the 2000 European Union motto: “United in Diversity” (In Varietate Concordia). Behind a constant – the desire to contribute to the peaceful resolution of conflicts between parties, based on their acceptance of an approach characterized by its dynamism and plasticity – appears the variability of practices. However, this mediation effervescence should not obscure several risks.

The first risk is the trivialization of mediation, of its use in any situation, leading to some mediation mania.
