An orphan from the age of ten growing up in a marginalized community, he saw property being stolen and witnessed violent crimes.&nbsp; He watched as the victims sought justice \u2013 travelling to faraway cities, borrowing money for transportation and court fees over and over again\u2013until they eventually gave up.&nbsp; \u2018\u2019Only the rich can access justice\u2019\u2019 became a phrase repeated in his, and countless other communities across Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These memories stayed with him as he embarked on a career as an investigative journalist, winning awards for his exposes of human rights violations and land grabbing. But this was not enough. \u2018\u2019Yes, I am reporting injustice in the media \u2013 but is this actually making a difference?\u2019\u2019 he asked himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this mind he started World Voices Uganda, an NGO focused on peace-building and access to justice.\u00a0 Their first projects focused on human rights reporting, cultural and sports activities for peace and justice and child protection but overwhelmingly what he and his colleagues were hearing from people was that they wanted somewhere to go where their legal problems could be heard and resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u2018\u2019Lawyers in Uganda are expensive, based in urban areas and operate largely in English. Courts are also far away and people simply can\u2019t afford the travel costs. \u2019\u2019says Gard, \u2018\u2019So we decided to come up with a justice model that would work for people.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ed6f2647\">And so in 2012, they created the\u00a0 Bataka Court, a court composed of ordinary citizens, based directly within communities responding to everyday legal problems.\u00a0 The court consists of a panel of seven elders\u00a0 \u2013 all well-respected individuals in the community who receive training in dispute resolution methods and national laws and regulations.\u00a0 Hearings are held in the community \u2013 usually in the house of one of the elders and other community members can actively participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When they first started, Gard participated in a number of hearings to evaluate if the model was working or not. The most memorable was a 57-year-old woman who had already spent two years going to court over a small piece of land a neighbour had grabbed from her. She had run out of money to go to court and was struggling to bring up her children and grandchildren without the extra land to grow food. A neighbour told her about the Bataka Court and within 24 hours her case was resolved and her land restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1822\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1244-1822x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1244-1822x1024.jpg 1822w, https:\/\/www.hiil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1244-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hiil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1244-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hiil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1244-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hiil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_1244-2048x1151.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1822px) 100vw, 1822px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/makmendemedia.com\/\"><sup><sub><em>MAKMENDE<\/em><\/sub><\/sup><\/a><em><sup><sub>\/Stuart Tibaweswa<\/sub><\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018\u2019The woman was so happy,\u2019\u2019 says Gard, \u2018\u2019and it was at that moment that I realized that our efforts were working. The land grabbers&rsquo; intention had been for the woman to fail knowing she did not have the money to continue going to court.\u00a0 But in the Bataka Court, after hearing her case, 99 per cent of the community supported her and he had no choice but to relent. He had to give her land back as well as a goat and jerry cans of porridge.\u00a0 The community also forgave the land grabber.\u00a0 Peace and tranquillity was quickly restored.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then the Bataka Court model has continued to grow and has improved the lives of both individuals and communities in the districts of Kakadi and Kyegegwa in Western Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u2018\u2019Bataka Court has reduced domestic violence and land disputes arising from changing demarcations\u2019\u2019 says Bira Vanis of Kyaterekera community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ed6f2640\">One of the key success factors of the Bataka Court is that it enjoys legitimacy within the community and the decisions are accepted as binding based on social agreement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are also very accessible.\u00a0The hearings are held in local languages and the processes followed are those that people understand so they do not feel intimidated. But most importantly they are also effective and provide quick resolutions to impactful problems.\u00a0 In the case of a boundary dispute, for example, the elders can visit the site on foot and discuss it directly with neighbours.\u00a0On average, cases are resolved in under 72 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yusuf Kisembo who faced a similar conflict to the one mentioned by Gard above was amazed at how quickly and efficiently his case was resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018\u2019We had a conflict over land with my neighbour \u2013 he had encroached on my land and shifted the boundary,\u2019\u2019 he says, \u2018\u2019I reported him to the local council court but he refused to go so I decided to try the Bataka Court since it is free.&nbsp; In just one day it was resolved and both of us were content.&nbsp; I am so grateful that the case ended well and in such a short time.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason the Bataka Courts are extremely effective is that the final decision, reached by the elders, is based on consensus and aims to deliver the best possible outcomes for both parties.&nbsp; The guilty party may be asked to issue a public apology, do community service or compensate the victim in kind.&nbsp; Social pressure to comply is high.&nbsp; This is reiterated by Peace Tukamuhebwa, a female elder of the Kyaterekera Bataka Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u2018\u2019Bataka Court is unique because it focuses on promoting reconciliation and unity among people,\u2018\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally if one of the disputing parties is not happy with the decision, it can be passed on to the formal justice system.\u00a0 One of the key ways the Bataka Courts work well is by how they are linked to the formal justice system as well as the government-led community justice programme Local Council Courts. The two institutions not only support the Bataka Courts but also refer cases to it. This in turn has helped increase its legitimacy amongst the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/8R1A0648-1536x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/8R1A0648-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hiil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/8R1A0648-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hiil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/8R1A0648-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hiil.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/8R1A0648-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At HiiL, we first supported Bataka Courts in 2019 through our Justice Accelerator programme.
