Requirement

Justice and security

Justice and security systems should be accessible, accountable and able to protect, decide, hear appeals and carry decisions through.

The proposal

Guarantee access, triage, safe mediation, adjudication, appeal, legal aid, oversight of the use of force and enforcement capacity.

How to read it

Sources identify relevant rights, methods, findings or precedents. They do not automatically establish the full World4Humans formulation. Where the project makes its own choice, that choice remains open to criticism and revision.

Sources and literature

Authority
World4Humans requirement using source-specific external authorities.
Relationship
Established standards, methods or components exist; the wider World4Humans formulation is not established by them alone.
