The upper part of the circle showing a formal court in session represents the less than 20% of disputes that are currently settled through the state court system in Afghanistan. The larger portion below signifies the more than 80% of cases settled through traditional justice bodies. When affordable access to the rule of law is viewed as the chief criterion for progress, a marrying of the two systems becomes possible for a transitional period. With support from the international community, awareness and recourse to justice can reach new levels to ensure basic Afghan freedoms and lay the foundations for a durable peace.
