description The research relevance is determined by an increase in conflicts and tensions related to territorial, cultural and environmental issues affecting indigenous peoples. The research aims to analyse and systematize mediation and conflict resolution practices specific to indigenous peoples to develop more effective conflict resolution strategies that respect their rights and contribute to the sustainable development of indigenous communities. Case studies of conflicts involving indigenous peoples, as well as literature and statistical research to identify successful mediation and conflict resolution practices from different regions and countries, were employed in this research. The specifics of conflicts that arise between indigenous peoples and state or private entities are analysed, as well as the factors contributing to the emergence and escalation of such conflicts. A range of key aspects in the practice of mediation and conflict resolution among indigenous peoples have been identified. The analysis of case studies and literature revealed successful mediation practices, including the use of traditional conflict resolution systems, participation of representatives of indigenous peoples in decision-making, and respect for their cultural and legal characteristics. Challenges and obstacles faced by participants in mediation in the context of indigenous peoples were discussed. Recommendations were made for the development of effective conflict resolution strategies considering the specifics and needs of indigenous communities to promote peace, justice, and sustainable development in this area. Practical cases of successful mediation were analysed, and the main principles and methods used by mediators were considered. Emphasis is placed on justice and respect for the rights of indigenous peoples. Practical lessons from the experiences of the world’s indigenous peoples are a valuable guide for diplomats, researchers, and anyone interested in culturally and socially sensitive conflict resolution.
