Page 6 - FACILITADORES JUDICIALES

Coverage

The Service of Judicial Facilitators began

in the late nineties in order to aid the lo-

cal judges 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 País Incorporación

American States (OAS), the program has 2002

been developed in several latinamerican 2007

countries since 2007. 2008

tators in eight countries of the region: the province of 2011

Corrientes, Argentina; Costa Rica; El Salvador; Guate-

mala; Honduras; Nicaragua; Panama; and Paraguay. 2012
