The present paper of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees addresses the issue of how disputes and justice matters are resolved in the context of refugee camps, with the ultimate aim of contributing towards a better understanding of this topic and better strategies for a more equitable administration of justice, particularly in light of ongoing problems of sexual and gender-based violence.The paper refers to the Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers as guidelines that provide important benchmarks and standards by which to analyse current practices relating to the administration of justice in refugee camps.
