Community Justice Institutions

Community Justice Institutions are local organizations and systems that help resolve conflicts, maintain order, and promote fairness within a community. They include entities such as community courts, local dispute resolution panels, and customary or traditional justice bodies. These institutions focus on addressing issues like minor crimes, disputes, or social conflicts through accessible, community-based processes that emphasize restorative justice, mediation, and local values. By involving community members and respecting cultural practices, they help strengthen social cohesion and ensure that justice is tailored to the needs and context of the community.
