Internally displaced women: progress, challenges and the way ahead 2013, para. 40
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- In addition to promoting access to criminal and civil justice systems for IDW, it is also essential to consider how their concerns are addressed through transitional justice processes. Transitional justice measures such as restitution, compensation, trials and truth and reconciliation commissions can contribute to recognizing and redressing the violations experienced by IDW, and in turn supporting sustainable solutions to displacement. Maximizing these contributions depends upon ensuring their accessibility, equitability and relevance to the priorities of IDW. For instance, reparation programmes can be calibrated to mitigate pre-existing structural inequalities, such as biased inheritance or other practices, for example by recognizing customary marriages in order to facilitate recognition of succession and inheritance rights and displaced women and men as co-claimants, or by distributing compensation benefits on an individual rather than family-unit basis, so as to increase women's control over the use of their share. In countries where the presence of formal legal institutions is limited at the local level, and alternative dispute-resolution mechanisms or customary justice are de facto the main accessible form of justice, programmes should consider engaging with these to sensitize them to national and international standards and progressively redress discriminatory customary practices.
