Abstract
This research paper tends to explain the concept of mediation which is one of the limbs of mediation in detail. the laws relating to mediation internationally and in Pakistan have been discussed. earlier, there were not enough legislations that dealt with mediation, but now several laws relating to mediation have been enacted that deal with it on national as well as international levels. mediation has also been discussed at international level as well that how it is working and how much successful it is. strengths and limitations of mediation have been analyzed. mediation has lessened the burden on courts which is considered to be a step towards the progress of the Pakistani judicial system. the working of the mediation proceedings in Pakistan has also progressed a lot. many mediation centers have been established that resolve disputes of parties by appointing a mediator. courts have also started to refer matters to these centers, which have eventually lessened the burden on the judiciary; working of mediation courts in Pakistan has also been focused upon. in response to the urgent need for mediation methods, Pakistan has introduced the different provisions made possible by the mediation. this research paper indicates that the relevant laws may not apply with the desired results as they encourage government mediation instead of community-driven mediation. the reason for the success of mediation in developing countries like bangladesh is due to involvement of the local community and hence the idea of the mediation state contradicts its spirit. the purpose of this document is to fill the gaps in Pakistan's current mediation legislation and propose possible reforms for its improvisation.
