Human rights justice is an area that has a lot of challenges. There are many cases of violation of human rights worldwide. When it comes to implementation of the justice, various problems arise hence making the work challenging and posing the unreliability challenge.
Each challenge comes with its issues that make it tough to handle. Having some awareness about the possible challenges that arise in the course of getting justice will help to come up with a sober way of getting the solutions.
Below are some of the barriers that will make the implementation of justice difficult to achieve. Here are some of the problems you are likely to encounter.
Unfair justice system
It is not rare to find a justice system that is compromised. People go to seek justice and then find injustice itself in the justice system. There are very high chances that the people within the system will make it quite difficult for whoever is seeking justice to maneuver and get the justice.
Moreover, there are people who communicate with the perpetrators and league with them to ensure that the affected persons do not get justice. They gather information about what the affected person wants to do and gives it to the accused party.
Some people use bribes to the people in the justice area to ensure that the person seeking for justice does not get it. The outcome is that the case gets delayed to such a point that the affected person gives up. some justice systems are corrupt and compromised.
Inadequate funds to execute policies and strategies
Most of the organizations that work with the human rights have a funds problem. They rely on donations and the government to fund them. As a result of limited cash, they end up doing incomplete processes which block the implementation of justice.
Funds inadequacy is a challenge that most countries experience. it is not so easy to have the governments setting aside money for justice matters. Some people also do not have the access to funds to have their cases processed. They cannot hire lawyers and have adequate to manage through the law.
Poor accountability
Poor accountability is a big problem that is affecting very many human rights institutions. You will notice that the persons involved in the whole processes of seeking justice for human rights are not able to account for various factors within the system.
The challenge that comes with poor accountability is that the cases end up failing. Lack of evidence is the first thing that appears and then the other things follow. Poor accountability also results to poor record keeping which makes it hard to trace the events that happened and the time that the specific events took place. The process of making follow ups also becomes very difficult making the justice follow up very difficult.
Poor investigation of the arising cases
Sometime the process of investigation brings about the whole problem. Once there is a problem that is related to injustice, the investigating officers do a shallow investigation. During presentation at the courts, they end up having insufficient evidence about specific cases.
Sometime the perpetrators of the violation get in touch with the investigating personnel. They interfere with the whole process using bribes or threats hence compromising the investigators.
Having investigation work that is poorly done is a challenge that will lead in the bad implementation of the whole process. The chances of getting justice are limited in this case. When the accusing part has very limited to do, justice becomes difficult to get.
Poor implementation of the verdicts
Implementation of the verdicts is another big problem. After people have gone through the justice system and the courts have made their ruling, implementation become another problem. The verdict enforcers are another team that is likely to bring about more problem.
Some ignore the orders from the courts and take tokens from the accused person. They end up becoming friends and then delay the justice to the persons who are affected. Sometimes they even advice the persons so that they become tactical in fulfilling the verdict making justice become a lifetime hassle.
Unclear policies and outcome of offence
It is also possible that you will see the unclear policies. These confuse people as they do not know which offence it is and the kind of punishment it carries. It also becomes difficult to understand which problem needs what kind of a solution.
Even the affected persons do not understand what they should do when they have such challenges. Some do not know how they are supposed to preserve and present their evidence. Having illiterate officers is another problem. Implementation of the policies and understanding their role becomes a very difficult problem.
Constitutional challenges
The constitution is the document of the law. However, it needs lawyers who can confidently stand and know the exact section that a specific violation belongs to. The cost of hiring lawyers is not cheap. It is quite expensive and may probably lead to failure of the whole justice system.
Sometimes you find that the person accused of the offence decides to hire an expensive and a more professional lawyer. Such a lawyer is likely to win the case making the person whose rights have been violated lose. This is a problem that comes with the rate of poverty and the ability of the constitution to speak for itself.
Lack of understanding about the human rights
How well do you think you understand your rights? Are there possibilities that you are having some rights that are getting violated without your conscience. This is not a rare challenge as there are many people whose rights get violated and they do not know where to go or what to do.
In the first place, some do not know that there is a problem of violation of their rights. There are very high chances that they will not make follow ups. It is also very possible that the persons involved in the offence will take advantage of the situation to cause more harm.
Protection of the perpetrators
Sometimes the perpetrators get protection from the people who are supposed to hold them accountable. It is not strange to have a person who need to implement justice trying to advice the parties to solve the problem outside the courts.
In such a case the problem is finished at a friendly stage. The affected person does not get justice and they are left complaining without getting any answers.
Conclusion
There are various barriers that will make implementation of justice a big problem. You need to have some clarity about the justice system and the likely problems then come up with a way of managing it. However, getting justice can be tedious.
