10(v) Documentation Of Traditional Justice Processes And Outcomes: The idea of documenting traditional justice processes especially those occurring at community levels should not be seen as an attempt to codify or formalize customary law, but instead stimulate self-reform through local ownership by traditional authorities. Creating a database of judgments of customary justice practices would complement oral traditions. Documentation research through participatory action methodologies can help give greater ownership, capture changing oral jurisprudence and increase consistency of judgments. 10(vi) Civil Society Monitoring and Advocacy: Empowering local civil society organizations and other community groups to demand reforms from the traditional justice processes especially at community level creates a sustaining incentive for long, difficult reforms. Civil society legal service providers, such as community paralegals, can also play a key role in navigating the space between customary and statutory systems, and identifying cases that should be removed to appeal courts. An active civil society will be essential for challenging local power dynamics that co-opt both formal and customary justice systems. Civil society can expose these abuses, raise awareness of human rights and other legal entitlements, and build dialogue and demand for justice at the community level. 10(vii) Training Of Traditional Authorities: Traditional authorities should be trained on human rights. However, all trainings should be designed in a manner that circumvents perceptions of cultural imperialism and introduction of foreign values. 21
