ACCESSING JUSTICE: SOMALIA’S ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION CENTERS

[Deeq A.]

With the adoption of the Constitution of Somalia in 2012, a Somali Federal Government replaced a transitional government after two decades of civil war. As a consequence of conflict, public institutions were severely damaged and Somalia’s development and humanitarian indicators remain among the lowest globally. With national partners, IDLO is helping rebuild and strengthen institutions, as a precondition to improving the lives of Somali citizens. This includes strengthening the justice sector, to help achieve sustainable pathways to peace and security.

During 2019–2020, IDLO studied six alternative dispute resolution (ADR) Centers in Somalia and their contribution to access to justice, within the context of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Agenda 2030 offers an overarching framework in which to view development achievements and SDG 16 provides guidance to advance a peaceful and inclusive society, access to justice for all, and effective, accountable and inclusive institutions.
