Peace and Security

 

The 11 years civil conflict in the country resulted to lawlessness and brutality at all level as well as human rights/violations such as arbitrary arrest and detention and attacks on innocent citizens, whose legacies remained even after the war in our communities. This is manifested by the proliferation of Kangaroo courts, which levy fines on people especially the poor, coupled with the incompetence of local court staff that are untrained and appointed by paramount chiefs. This resulted in a situation where people especially the illiterates (women, youth and poor old men) have little or no access to structures that redress/address conflicts for them. The programme seeks to promote and maintain a fair justice system that is accessible by all regardless of status, peaceful co-existence among the people and the protection of human rights
