This document discusses the importance of neutrality for mediators in conflict resolution. It defines neutrality, impartiality, and objectivity for mediators. Neutrality means having no bias toward either side or preference in the outcome. It is difficult for mediators to remain neutral because everyone has inherent biases. However, cultivating mindfulness through meditation can help mediators stay neutral and create the conditions for productive mediation. The document advocates that a mindful, neutral mediator approaches each situation with care, curiosity, appreciation and respect rather than fear, enmity, arrogance or rejection.
