Background |
|
Background Many people in South Sudan have unmet justice needs countrywide for both everyday disputes and severe abuses. After decades of war, the country was left with a barely functioning justice and policing system, and institutions are unable to provide the coverage, accessibility and effectiveness of services people require. Where they are delivered, services are unequal, untimely and outcomes are often unfair. Despite security improvements, crime rates are high, SGBV remains prevalent; and human rights violations are regularly reported. The delays to implement the R-ARCCS widens the justice gap and human rights deficit, as the review of essential laws, security concerns, as well as conflict-related abuses of the past and root causes of conflict remain unaddressed in the absence of transitional justice, accountability, reconciliation, healing and other constitutional and security sector reforms UNDP’s Access to Justice, Security and Human Rights Programme responds to this by supporting the Judiciary of South Sudan; the Ministry of Justice; and the Ministry of Interior, including the South Sudan National Police Service and the National Prisons Service of South Sudan, the Law Reform Commission and the South Sudan Human Rights Commission to increase access to justice, strengthen security including law enforcement and promote human rights in South Sudan as enablers for sustaining peace and development. Using a sector wide approach, UNDP’s strategy in achieving this is twofold. Firstly, by providing support to the priorities of the rule of law institutions as articulated in their institutional strategic and/or action plans. This includes both infrastructural and institutional development support. Secondly, by promoting access to justice and safety by linking the rule of law institutions with community and civil society initiatives. Additionally, the Program accompanys the government to implement its rule of law related commitment in the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan, 2018. The programme includes support for the renovation of existing facilities that have been damaged in the conflict or over time, as well as construction of new facilities that the Clerk of Works is expected to supervise.
