In order to improve the social relations’ efficiency, human kind made continuous efforts in increasing the quality of their understanding and management of ever present conflictual states and situations, one of those leading to the development of various types of norms consisting of, based on or at least in connection with basic and general values. The importance of values comes not only from the fact that those became over time instruments in understanding and managing conflicts, building blocks used in the construction of social norms, but also from the fact that those are one of the ever present and significant reasons for which inner and interpersonal conflicts arise. While Justice is the most evident social sector involved in the administration and solving of conflicts, a brief evaluation on the role of values is proposed over two of the most present conceptual systems in conflict management: the Classic or Retributive and Restorative - and its subsequent Alternative Dispute Resolution - systems. This paper offers a brief perspective on the role that basic and general values have in the conflict resolution’s normative system and practice. Some of the conclusions possible to be drawn over the presented information is that both conceptual systems have common basic and general values imbedded in their fabric, even if some of their allocated meanings, priorities and use is more or less different and that values should be taken into more serious consideration by both the members of the general public and professionals involved in the management of conflictual states and situations arising in the different sectors of the social system while those are to be found in or connected to each and every social norm.
