The Judicial System in Somaliland
Author: Academy for Peace and Development
Abstract
A critical measure of the transitional administration of a war-torn country is its success in providing security and the rule of law to its people. These can only be realized when there are functioning institutions to uphold them. Somalia’s legal, judicial and law enforcement institutions collapsed during the civil war. State responsibility for guaranteeing personal safety, protection of private property, and freedom of movement was lost. Social norms were violated and a state of lawlessness prevailed.
