Page 27 - FACILITADORES JUDICIALES

Institutional Issues

The Service of Judicial Facilitators began in the late nineties in order to help the local ju-

dges in isolated communities. It was then implemented in small villages and quarters in

rural and urban areas when it became clear that the methodology was efficient and the

people learned that the judicial facilitator was a bridge between the community and the

Judicial Power.

With the support of the Organization of American States (OAS), the program has been

developed in several Latin-American countries since 2007. Now, the Program is suppor-

ted by various resolutions of the highest political body of the institution, its General As-

sembly.
