DEF

A dispute settlement procedure in which a respected third party or a neutral State acting on request or at its own discretion seeks through diplomatic means to persuade the disputing parties to meet and resume direct negotiation.

CONT

A theoretical distinction exists between good offices and mediation. The difference between them is that whereas good offices consist in various kinds of action tending to call negotiations between the conflicting States into existence, mediation consists in direct conduct of negotiations between the parties at issue on the basis of proposals made by the mediator.
