Page 16 - FACILITADORES JUDICIALES

The Program is closer to the

indigenous justice

In areas where indigenous law practices

exist, local leaders are recognized as facilita-

tors, and their work is brought closer to the

work of local judges. The joint work of local

judges and indigenous leaders who, like the

Nicaraguan judges (community judges) exer-

cise functions to resolve conflicts, have brou-

ght indigenous justice practices closer to the

practices of official law, establishing a bridge

of communication and regeneration of trust

fractured for centuries.
