- A framework for strengthening access to justice in Indonesia
-
This paper argues that a comprehensive justice sector reform requires a dual track strategy which links top-down institutional reform (supply) and bottom-up access to, and demand for, better justice (demand). Such a strategy will bring justice closer to the people. It will help to address the low trust and inequities that many, in particular the poor, feel define the delivery of justice in Indonesia.
