Establishing mediation as a means of alternative dispute resolution in Georgia is supported by state policy which, inter alia, has been expressed by adopting the Law of Georgia on Mediation. Therefore, its smooth functioning within the unified system of the chain of administration of justice should be evaluated as a demonstration of public interest. In this respect, achieving public recognition of mediation, and increasing the trust of the public in mediation as to the fair process, a process based on ethical principles, is deemed important. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to study the ethical grounds of mediationrelated processes. In particular, emphasis shall be placed on the fundamental principle of self-determination and its proper implementation in practice, which will promote both the implementation of the most general purpose of fairness and the formation of unanimous approaches toward the institution of mediation in public.
