African Traditional Justice

African Traditional Justice refers to the customary practices and systems used by various African communities to resolve disputes and maintain social harmony. This approach often emphasizes reconciliation, mediation, and community involvement rather than punishment. Elders or respected leaders typically facilitate discussions between conflicting parties to reach a mutual agreement, aiming to restore relationships and uphold communal values. This system reflects the cultural heritage of the community and prioritizes collective well-being over individual retribution, fostering a sense of unity and cooperation among members.
