Les difficultés d’accès au système judiciaire au Pérou : la justice communautaire comme alternative
Abstract
This article is about access to law problems in Peru, taking up the hypothesis that community justice might be an alternative to those barriers (economic, social and cultural). The first section describes the three main obstacles confronting Peruvian citizens in obtaining hearings. In this context, an alternative is proposed in the form of the community justice currently practiced by Aymaraand Aguaruna communities and which, as we shall see, seems to be a viable option for the nation at large.
