header1 Issues of concern

  • The judiciary is impeded by corruption, backlogs, funding shortfalls, and political interference.
  • Many people accused of crimes spend more time in pretrial detention than they would serve if convicted and sentenced.
  • Gender-based violence is pervasive, and customary law disadvantages women in matters including inheritance and child custody.
