Guanajuato, Gto., Febraury 19, 2018.- By initiative of a group of students of the University of Guanajuato (UG), it was held the theoretical-practical workshop of Alternate Mechanisms to Solve Disputes, oriented to explore a new trend in legal matter, based on mediation, negotiation, and dialogue between the parties.

During the inauguration, UG's President, Dr. Luis Felipe Guerrero Agripino, highlighted the relevance of the event, first for being a student initiative, since it was organized by the group Altruismo UG, in which students from different programs of Campus Guanajuato participate.

He emphasized that this is a transcendental message on what education must be "with proactive, committed, self-managed students, authorities that accompany the students, and a professional sector that is linked with the public university", mentioned UG's President.

He added that this workshop is oriented to promote a culture of peace, "and when it comes from the university, it manifests the social commitment of our study house with the most transcendent topics in the ambiance", one of them, --he added—is to make all mechanisms appropriate so Law may acquire its rational, measured, proportional, equilibrated and minimal transcendence.

"For us as a society, let's be capable of prepending other means to solve our differences; prepend the dialogue and capability to understand us through language, empathy", highlighted Dr. Guerrero, who besides congratulating the members of Altruismo UG, he invited them to participate in other institutional projects that are in this effort to promote a culture of peace.

The rector of Campus Guanajuato, Dr. Teresita de Jesús Rendón Huerta Barrera, said that this workshop contributed to the profile of the new lawyer, he recalled that there is now a constitutional mandate in which the figure of conciliation exists, "a step of civility, which implies the development of a series of values in the person", where he mentioned respect and accordance.

The Director of the Department of Law, Dr. Leandro Eduardo Astrain Bañuelos, pointed out that the traditional systems to solve conflicts are living critical moments, in a large part, derived from the distrust of the citizens.

He acknowledged that the justices are seldom satisfied with the judgment of the judge "the reality is that in a jurisdictional process all those involved lose, even if one of the parties obtains a favorable or partly favorable solution to their Interest, the emotional, physical and economic wear that represents a process of this nature, can hardly be compensated. "

The constitutional right to the imparting of prompt justice, complete and impartial most of the time is in good intentions, so a tendency arose to adopt alternative mechanisms to solve disputes "that through mediation, conciliation and negotiations seek to find answers to social conflicts "; a trend that has been favored by a series of reforms that have been given in recent years in our country.

"At UG and the Department of Law we are convinced that this is a great challenge that we must face from the academy," said Dr. Astrain, who underlined the leading role of education in inculcating values, seeking peaceful ways and contributing to a new social culture.

In welcoming the attendees, the Director of the division of Law, Politics and government, Dr. Eduardo Pérez Alonso, said that the event contributes to remark the scope of conciliation in legal and political environments. In these times, we should not try to win at the cost of everything, we must win with the truth and with right, so "this University seeks that its students retain an education to litigate and find an education to reconcile," he said.

Representing the group Altruismo UG, the student Oscar Cristóbal Pulido expressed his blessing to be able to work a subject that is relatively new to the Law in Mexico, focused on solving conflicts in a more humane, peaceful, cordial and in which the Parties become aware of the agreement. It is a new culture of peace, and this event will pay to train the student community in this issue, concluded.
