ABSTRACT. The article examines the problem of implementing mediation as a way of settling legal disputes under martial law. It is emphasized that the integration into the national legal system of mediation as a non-jurisdictional method of conflict resolution is an important task both in the conditions of martial law and in the post-war period.

It is emphasized that the shortage of personnel in the judicial authorities contributes to a greater burden on the judicial corps. Prompt resolution of any conflicts, including legal ones, is an important factor in the development of societies and the state. Modernization of all elements of the national legal system requires innovative approaches and the integration of mediation as a non-state method of dispute settlement, with the help of which all parties come to a constructive, optimal resolution of the dispute.

It is noted that in the conditions of martial law and the post-war period, mediatable cases are more often transferred to the work of mediators. This will significantly reduce the burden on judicial authorities, will provide an opportunity to concentrate on complex cases and those issues that can be resolved only within the framework of justice. At the current stage, the Ukrainian national community of mediators has formed as a powerful social institution. In the conditions of rapid development of the information society and information and communication technologies, the advantage of mediation, among others, is the ability to resolve issues in an online format at a time convenient for the parties and the absence of geographical restrictions.

It is positive that several resources with information about mediators have already been created today. However, in the future, mechanisms for verifying the reliability of information regarding mediators and monitoring the quality of services provided should be developed. It was concluded that the active implementation of mediation will contribute to improving the skills of citizens to negotiate on mutually beneficial terms in various difficult circumstances.

Keywords: mediation, justice, legal dispute, martial law, human rights and freedoms.
