Shartai Mohamed praised Unamid for &ldquo;restoring the glory of this grand court&rdquo; and all those who contributed to its rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>He told Radio Dabanga from Kabkabiya on Wednesday that the court was re-activated to achieve justice among the local communities. &ldquo;The court enjoys wide competence in resolving social conflicts, disputes over land rights, and other issues.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Popular courts, also known as tribal courts, are traditionally staffed by respected community elders and enforce customary law that is not considered to be inconsistent with the law or public policy.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the judges are well reputed citizens of good conduct. Membership includes tribal chiefs, Omdas, sheikhs, and Nazirs. Due process in customary courts does not appear to be clearly defined, rendering them vulnerable to arbitrary application of the laws.
