There's someone acting as mediator who has a stick bigger than anyone else's - the US government.

There is nobody with a bigger stick to mediate between nation states, unless there is a hegemon - like the US government. Even that is imperfect, because even as powerful as it is, it is not powerful enough to impose its will on larger states absolutely. At best, there is grudging compromise to avoid violence.
