Community Justice Liaison Unit
The Community Justice Liaison Unit (CJLU) is the mechanism by which the Law and Justice Sector (LJS) seeks to work with civil society and the formal law and justice agencies. It works to promote the engagement of civil society organisations in the law and justice sector with a focus on crime prevention, restorative justice and partnerships for change.
The work of the Community Justice Liaison Unit is based on principles of strong sustainability as reflected in the PNG Constitution - with an emphasis on living within a social capacity approach.
This means:
- nurturing local level systems of restorative justice, & crime prevention
- building peaceful & safe communities through greater awareness of law and justice, education and community development
- providing assistance for government agencies to build capacity to work with civil society at national and provincial level
