Traditional Councils of Mediation (The Judia): When thinking of Gacaca, nothing comes to mind in Darfur other than its traditional mediation council locally referred to as the Judia. It is a grass-root system of arbitration that focuses on reconciliation and resurrection of social relationships in the community. Unlike other judicial systems like governments and Shartay courts, the Judia is distinguished by impermanency of its membership, informality and accessibility to all in the community.
The Judia session can be initiated by a plaintiff, a defendant or their concerned neighbours and relatives. The meeting is open to all including passing guests and is not restricted to any defined number of mediators. In general, a Judia session attracts a minimum of five jurors who join and depart at will to carry out other activities. The disputants have the right to veto participation of potential mediators but only prior to commencement of the Judia.
The Judia has no overt power to enforce its ruling. Its power over disputants is moral. A disputant who defies the ruling of the Judia is castigated as a consensus breaker (Kassar Khawatir) who is anti-social, uncooperative and a threat to community harmony. The opposite of that is “Jabbar Khatir” (consensus builder), reflecting civility and ideal citizenship in the community. In a social environment where survival requires cooperation, the label of “consensus breaker” is hard to sustain. Furthermore, the ruling of the Judia is often endorsed by the much harsher Shartay court should the case go further. What is important here is the consensual nature of Judia ruling. I n effect, it is community attempt to combine individual interests with community ideals.
The Judia is free and no penalties imposed other than compensation for loss or damage incurred in the conflict. An oath on the Koran may be employed to prevent further offences between the disputants.
