The participants of the workshop consisted of the members of the Ethics Commission. Additionally, a representative from the Mediation Council of Azerbaijan also participated in the meeting. During the session, the attendees engaged in discussions concerning the specific aspects related to the code of conduct for mediators within their respective countries.

In addition, the CoE international expert provided participants with a broader perspective on the diverse approaches to ethical standards and disciplinary measures across different jurisdictions. Participants explored the system of ethical compliance and sanctions for maintaining professionalism and integrity in the mediation process. As part of the group exercise, the participants participated in case studies based on real cases.
