Aplicación de garantías en los acuerdos de mediación para asegurar el cumplimiento efectivo de las actas en la ciudad de Cuenca durante el periodo 2025

Abstract

This study focuses on the implementation of guarantees in mediation agreements in the city of Cuenca, aiming to analyze the extent to which these mechanisms help ensure that the agreements signed by the parties are actually fulfilled, preferably automatically at the same venue where the methodology was applied to achieve conflict resolution. It examines the current legal framework, the role of mediation centers, and users’ perceptions regarding mandatory compliance and the monitoring of assumed obligations. Qualitative data were collected on the topic, highlighting the main obstacles to implementing and enforcing agreements. The research aims to identify problems in the control systems and proposes critical and reflective thinking that can introduce stronger legal and administrative guarantees, thereby enhancing legal certainty in the mediation process. The findings aim to support the development of protocols and public policies that strengthen mediation as a reliable and effective alternative method of conflict resolution.
