Mediation and Cultural Values in the Great Lakes Region

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the integration of cultural values such as gacaca, ubuntu, and ubushingantahe into mediation practices, particularly in the Great Lakes Region and schools. It emphasizes the need for mediation to reflect the cultural context in which it operates, advocating for a blend of law and communication. Highlighting historical examples, such as South Africa's transition from apartheid and Rwanda's gacaca courts post-genocide, it argues for a more participatory and human-centered approach to justice rooted in African traditional jurisprudence.
