This documentation came forth from a concerned effort by the Access to Justice project team consisting of MoJ and with the support of the UNDP to enhance the Alternative Dispute Resolution system which is one of the objectives of the administration and justice reform of the Government's Rectangular strategy. It will play an important role in assisting the work of the government, the law makers and the implementers. It will also be useful for government officers and other authorities besides those who work in the justice system to have more knowledge on the customary rules of indigenous people. The knowledge will help them to be gentle and create understanding. The customary rules will also contribute to the work of researchers, lawyers and policy makers.
