Today the Almaty Mayor’s Administration and the Almaty City Court have signed a Memorandum on a mutual cooperation in the field of development and active implementation of the institutes of pre-trial and extrajudicial settlement of conflicts.The Memorandum on cooperation has been signed by the Mayor of Almaty Bauyrzhan Baybek and the Head of the Almaty City Court Akzhan Yeshtay.During the arrangement, the Mayor of Almaty emphasized that signing this Memorandum on cooperation has the only goal - ensuring harmony and stability in society."One of the ways of extrajudicial settlement of disputes is mediation. For our people, the institution of mediation is close to its historical roots: all conflicts had been solved by biys and aqsaqals. Now we can see that our citizens, unfortunately, do not often find a consensus and go to the court or appeal to the mayor, etc. So, as the Head of state said, "the fundamental of a successful state is a trinity. It is the government, the business, and the civil society - and they must work together", - B. Baybek said.On the basis of the agreement concluded, the Mayor's Administration and the City Court will start a systematic cooperation in conducting explanatory work among the population within the three priority areas on opening the offices of mediation in the district Mayor's Administrations of Almaty, bringing the representatives of non-governmental sector and the civil society to the development of the institution of amateur mediation.Note: Mediation is the ability to negotiate, to reach a consensus in the disputes and conflicts - a decision being mutually beneficial to both parties. There is an idea that if a model of the socio-political structure of the country is based on the mediation, it means that civil institutions are well developed in such a society. The development of mediation is focused on the consolidation of various ways and means of reaching a compromise between the parties in the legal disputes, both in the court and out of the court.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/10814?lang=kk
