From Conflict to Healing: Government Prints 40,000 Copies of Truth and Reparation Laws

-

 



‎Juba, South Sudan 

‎

The Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs has taken a major step toward enhancing access to legal knowledge by receiving 40,000 printed copies of two foundational transitional justice laws. The handover was supported by the European Union. 

‎

‎Key Laws and Purpose

‎The two laws now in print are:

‎Compensation and Reparation Authority Act, 2024

‎Commission for Truth, Reconciliation, and Healing Act, 2024 

‎

‎These statutes underpin South Sudan’s process of healing and accountability after years of conflict. 

‎

The Commission for Truth, Reconciliation, and Healing (CTRH) is tasked with addressing root causes of conflict, promoting national dialogue, and guiding a path toward reconciliation. 

‎

The Compensation and Reparation Authority (CRA) will focus on delivering reparative support to victims. 

‎

‎The Handover & Significance

‎EU Ambassador to South Sudan, Pelle Enarsson, officially handed over the printed volumes to Justice Minister Dr. Joseph Geng Akech in Juba. 

‎

‎In his remarks, Dr. Geng emphasized the importance of making legal texts readily available to all citizens, stating:

‎

‎“This is an important step in making our laws accessible to every citizen and reaffirming our commitment to truth, reconciliation, and accountability.” 

‎

‎Ambassador Enarsson said the EU’s support is intended to promote transparency, accountability, and equal access to justice across South Sudan.  

‎

He characterized the printed distribution as a “milestone” in enabling citizens to engage proactively in peace and reconciliation efforts. 

‎

‎Background & Context

‎President Salva Kiir signed the two laws in November 2024, fulfilling a long-standing promise to institute transitional justice mechanisms, nearly a decade after the initial commitment. 

‎

‎The delay in adopting these statutes had drawn concern from civil society and international stakeholders who saw them as essential to addressing injustices from South Sudan’s civil conflicts, particularly since December 2013. 

‎

‎What This Means Going Forward

‎The printed laws will be disseminated to localities across South Sudan so citizens, civic groups, and legal practitioners can access them.

‎

‎These acts lay the legal foundation for mechanisms intended to foster accountability, reconciliation, and redress for victims.

‎

‎The move underlines the government’s stated commitment to transition from conflict to lasting peace and justice.

‎ The Office of the President has dismissed public speculation surrounding Vice President Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior’s recent assignment to oversee the Governance Cluster, clarifying that the move does not signal any change in the country’s executive hierarchy. ‎ ‎While addressing the media, Presidential Press Secretary Ambassador David Amuor said Nyandeng’s role is temporary and administrative, aimed at ensuring continuity of government operations following the suspension of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar, who traditionally chairs the Governance Cluster. ‎ Amb. David, explained that the Council of Ministers had accumulated a backlog of pending memos and policy documents, many of which required urgent presentation and processing to avoid delays in governance and legislation. ‎ “This arrangement does not in any way alter the hierarchy of the Presidency,” Amb. David stressed. “Vice President Nyandeng is only facilitating the presentation and co-sharing of memos in Cabinet to ensure...

South Sudanese Transgender Is Asking For A South Sudanese Man To Marry Him.

South Sudanese man who turned into a woman has finally spoken about his need for man to settle with. The South-South Sudanese man who goes by the name Paul Gatnoor, has found men hard to come by in the western world. Paul Gatnoor who hails from the Nuer tribe in South Sudan has decided to turn into a female since she can’t withstand the pressure of being a man. He was born a man but deep inside him, he was having the genes of a woman. Transgender is the challenge that the gender in which one is given has birth is not the exact gender that one has. This means that people who are born male can identify themselves as female since they don’t have the genes of being a male, this is what Paul Gatnoor is undergoing. They are sometimes also in other words identified as the gender queer. This only means they can not be categorized as female or male. Sometimes one might be comfortable addressing himself as a female rather than identifying yourself as a male. Gatnoor Paul w...
