民间调解是一种民主协商的纠纷解决机制。这就决定了习惯法进入民间调解的途径必然是通过当事人的选择和当事人自发适用。当然,民族习惯法在民间调解中较之其他纠纷解决方式的优势,主要体现减轻纠纷当事人诉累、弥补环境纠纷仲裁缺陷和有利于真正解决纠纷。 Civil mediation is a system of dispute resolution that is deliberatively and democratically negotiated. This determines that the common law approach to civil mediation must be spontaneously applied through the choice of the parties and the parties involved. Of course, the superiority of national customary law in civil mediation over other forms of dispute resolution mainly lies in mitigating the parties involved in disputes, making up for the deficiencies in the arbitration of environmental disputes and in helping to truly solve the disputes.
