 Re: تلخيص: From war to peace and reconciliation in Darfur منتدى عماد الأمين (Re: Elmuiz Haggaz)

Concluding Remarks:
The use of the Judia in post-war Darfur is dictated by necessity. The Judia constitutes the best avenue for generating ownership of justice, achieving reconciliation and avoiding the undesirable dilemma of keeping detainees, many of whom are innocent in jail for prolonged periods. Supporters of the South African rival model “Truth and Reconciliation” may be content with the fact that the main principles of that model are already enshrined in the Judia: establishment of truth, bringing contenders in a face to face dialogue, airing of grievances, forgiveness, moral punishment of wrongdoers and above all social rehabilitation (Emmanuel, 2007; Graybill, 2004).
No matter how you upgrade the Judia, it will not match the fairness of “good working” modern courts. It is perhaps neither logical nor desirable to adopt different processes and expect the same result. Limitation of Judia can however be compensated for by what the Judia delivers for peace and reconciliation. I hasten to add here that we have little choice in this regard. Replication of the modern justice system under the mantle of the Judia serves no purpose. Among other problems that it may create, it transforms the Judia into another punitive system and with little or no contribution to community restitution. Finally, one should not assume that alternative justice systems, either the national justice system or the international justice system are perfect. Both of these systems have demonstrated their limitations across the globe but that is ground for not using them (see Jones, 2006).
