Background

The 2018 Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS) renewed national commitment to stabilize and sustain the peace. With the formation of the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU), South Sudan has embarked on implementation of a transitional period with a renewed promise of no return to war, and a responsibility to reintegrate refugees and internally displaced persons, undertake legal and institutional reforms, enforce accountable economic management and improve service delivery to citizens.

South Sudan will advance some of these commitments through immediate and medium-term interventions by addressing the constraints in the administration of justice and enforcement of the law. Many years of underfunding, inadequate professional staff, infrastructure, equipment, and supplies in the justice systems has prolonged trials, created backlogs of cases and resulted in congested detention. Also, there is limited presence or absence of rule of law institutions in remote parts of the country as such, communities and vulnerable groups such as women, survivors of SGBV, displaced populations and children face significant legal, cultural, physical and linguistical barriers to justice. The limited support through the extension of justice and policing services has diminished public confidence in the formal systems of justice, with most people relying heavily on the customary court system or resorting to self-help.

A new phase of the UNDP’s access to justice and rule of law program has been developed, as a successor project that build on previous and past gains. It will respond to emerging issues arising from implementation of the R-ARCSS mechanisms and milestones. To this end, the Access to Justice, Security and Human Rights program (2020-2024) will supports 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 and promote human rights in South Sudan.
