OPINION: Access to Justice for All Is Not yet a Reality – But, There Are Ways Forward
Access to justice for everyone in all communities is an important right and requirement for building fair and peaceful societies – yet this objective has been achieved in few if any nations and the consequences are damaging for social, economic and political progress and stability.
Studies indicate that of the 1.4 billion people who for whatever reason in the past two years felt the need for recourse to law, less than half have had their justice needs are met. Barriers such as cost, complexity, and corruption cause people either not to seek redress, or to be defeated by the process.
From Press: Commonwealth Secretary-General arrives in Sri Lanka to participate in Law Ministers’ meeting in Colombo
The 53 countries of the Commonwealth are committed to taking action to right this wrong. Each member country is committed through our Commonwealth Charter to: ‘an independent, effective and competent legal system’ which ‘is integral to upholding the rule of law, engendering public confidence and dispensing justice’.
That is the basis on which discussions on innovative and united action towards access to justice and related priorities will take place over the coming days at the Commonwealth Law Ministers Meeting which convenes in Sri Lanka, 5-7 November 2019.
While many are fortunate to have a system that can be relied upon to give a fair hearing and resolution, for millions of people around the world, this is sadly not the case. Problems with access to justice can seriously affect people’s lives through physical and stress-related ill health, loss of income and damage to relationships. Vulnerable groups in many jurisdictions tend to be those that justice systems ought to do most to protect.
Our priority has to be to answer the needs of all people, and particularly those such as the poor and unemployed, victims of domestic violence, refugees and disabled or first nation people, whose experience far too often is to feel marginalized or ill-served by judicial processes.
Poverty affects access to justice in many ways, and discriminatory laws perpetuate and exacerbate disadvantage. Income, gender, sexuality, and location can all be factors in people being denied equitable access to justice. Sometimes several of these factors combine severely to the detriment of victims or offenders from already vulnerable groups.
Indigenous women, for example, particularly those who have faced addiction, poverty or domestic violence, are often already marginalized, and then suffer the further blow of being unsupported in their search for justice, diminishing yet further the prospects for themselves, their families, and the communities in which they live.
Even where equal and progressive laws exist, swingeing cuts to legal aid, or lack of legal aid altogether, can impair access to justice, particularly for the most vulnerable. Lack of access to justice then leads to further injustice – with people denied their rights or a voice, unable to fight discrimination and prevented from holding public bodies to account.
The result is that progress towards sustainable development at national, community or personal levels is limited, and opportunities for inclusive growth and prosperity are lost. At worst, injustice can be the root of conflict and violence – even though people are generally not seeking revenge and retribution, but recompense and restoration. Systems should ensure these avenues to resolution are available because, without them, anger and resentment can fester.
Innovation and technology open up new horizons and possibilities. Digital resources such as e-courts, video advocacy, and interactive information services are helping to improve inclusivity. Yet even with such innovative approaches and mechanisms, those same vulnerable groups may continue to experience obstacles to affordable and equitable access.
So we need to be aware that the promising solutions technology offers can also prolong existing problems or present new ones. This means that just as lawbreakers find ever more sophisticated ways of using technology for crime, lawmakers must leverage what technology can do to keep ahead or abreast of such threats.
Our related systems of governance and administration, and the widespread use in our jurisdictions of the Common Law, make the Commonwealth ideally placed as a community to think, plan and act together towards fairer and more inclusive access to justice with improved outcomes.
Working together in mutual support, and by learning and gaining encouragement from one another, our member countries are able to accelerate progress towards creating and delivering fair and effective national laws. They are helped in this by Commonwealth toolkits that guide on matters such as policy-making and legislative drafting.
The beneficial impact of this cooperation is enhanced through the expert technical assistance provided to member countries by the Commonwealth Secretariat. Examples of this include the legal issues associated with tackling violence against women and girls, gender discrimination, corruption, and climate change.
By combining to work towards all our people having proper access to genuine justice, and by sharing good practice to strengthen the foundations on which the rule of law is built, the Commonwealth shines as a beacon for multilateral cooperation, and opens up pathways towards more peaceful and prosperous societies, and a fairer and more secure future for all.

in this article? I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get suggestions from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Appreciate it!
Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog stand out.
Please let me know where you got your design. Appreciate it
Hi I am so excited I found your weblog, I really found you by error, while I was browsing on Aol
for something else, Nonetheless I am here now and would just like to say many thanks for a tremendous post and a
all round exciting blog (I also love the theme/design), I
don’t have time to read it all at the minute but I have saved
it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be

Oh my goodness! Impressive article dude! Thanks, However
I am encountering difficulties with your RSS.
I don’t know why I can’t join it. Is there anybody else having identical RSS problems?
Anyone who knows the solution will you kindly respond? Thanks!!
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I do think that you
ought to publish more about this subject matter, it might
not be a taboo matter but typically people do not talk about such issues.
To the next! Kind regards!!
I have read so many articles or reviews on the topic of the blogger lovers except this post
is truly a good piece of writing, keep it up.
Howdy exceptional blog! Does running a blog such as this
take a lot of work? I have no expertise in coding but I had been hoping
to start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow, if you have
any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off topic but I simply had to ask. Cheers!

blogger, and I was curious about your situation; we have
created some nice procedures and we are looking to exchange strategies with others,

I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative
and entertaining, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is an issue that not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy that I came across this during my
hunt for something concerning this.
