(Dr.) Musuruve","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":13188,"legal_name":"Getrude Musuruve Inimah","slug":"getrude-musuruve-inimah"},"content":"Another guiding principle is that of impartiality by the conciliators, mediators or resolvers. When it comes to a conflict, the mediator needs to be as sober as a judge, impartial and not try to side with one person at the expense of the other. This is because the mediator also has an image to protect. Not everyone can be a mediator. Traditional mediators should be people who are really conversant with the traditions of a given place or community. Not just anybody from anywhere can be picked to become a mediator. A mediator should be well versed, sensitive, objective and impartial for the purpose of ensuring credibility of the mediation or conflict process."}
