Access to justice for people living in poverty 2012, para. 89
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Sometimes such systems also impose extremely punitive measures for the commission of even minor crimes. Moreover, while non-State legal orders may often be praised for providing rapid justice, speedy justice proceedings are by no means always just, and indeed many have features that constitute human rights violations by omitting basic due process guarantees.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
