Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan judiciary has established a mobile court in Mayom County of Unity State to resolve accumulated criminal cases in the area where justice is largely administered through customary laws.<\/p>\n

The court will be present in the remote county until May 24, to decide forty-two different criminal cases including rape, robbery, revenge killing, and cattle raiding.<\/p>\n

The court is made up of two judges, two defense lawyers, an indictment lawyer, a prosecutor and three investigators.<\/p>\n

Since independence in 2011, South Sudan has struggled to establish fair and effective governance and rule of law institutions, according to the national law society.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe court is going well, and today a person was sentenced to two months in prison for stealing goats,\u201d said Prosecutor John Wani.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are four decisions ready to be pronounced, including murder and rape. The sentences will be pronounced in the next two days.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent years, prosecutors and magistrates have been deployed to some rural areas of South Sudan, and several initiatives have sought to improve justice services for rural populations.<\/p>\n

One of the programs was to incorporate women into customary court structures and addressing the historical legacy of conflict through various forms of reparation.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor John Wani said the mobile court is supported by the Department of Rule of Law of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan.<\/p>\n

A similar mobile court was launched in February 2024 in Koch County, of Unity State to ensure local communities have access to justice.<\/p>\n

UNMISS says access to formal courts in many parts of South Sudan has been virtually non-existent since the beginning of civil war in 2013.<\/p>\n
