institution is subordinate to the Ministry of Justice. Since the start of its activities in 2000 and up to December 2010, the CFJJ gave 12 courses for admission to both the Courts and the Public Prosecution Office, training 300 magistrates and prosecutors. 75. In addition to admission and capacitation courses for the Courts and the Public Prosecution Office, the CFJJ gives other courses, namely for Curators and Notaries, experts with the Legal and Judicial Aid Institute (IPAJ), and for Legal Officers and Assistant Legal Officers. 76. Regarding magistrates, these have attended capacitation courses on various issues related to human rights. Between 2009 and 2010, magistrates attended capacitation courses related to the jurisdiction of minors. In 2010 there was a national conference on the rights of children for magistrates from all over the country as well as experts from various institutions. In 2011, the Juridical Training Centre introduced other courses related to human rights, namely: Succession Rights, Gender and Equal Rights, and Human Rights. 77. It is worth mentioning that a program has been launched for the construction of Justice Halls in some of the country’s districts. As part of this concept, all branches of the judiciary shall come under the same umbrella, thereby facilitating access to justice by citizens. In the past, justice was viewed as inaccessible due to the long distance separating the various justice institutions. 78. There have been training and capacitation of Judges and Community Leaders, elected judges and other stakeholders in the informal justice system, the aim being to have a more effective informal/community justice system which could complement the role played by the formal justice sector. 79. Moreover, as a means of ensuring the provision of legal aid to needy Mozambicans, the State has created IPAJ. 80. Regarding the number of IPAJ-assisted cases, there was an increase of 32.97% in the number of cases assisted in 2010 (53,184) compared to 39,998 cases in 2009. 81. IPAJ provides satisfactory coverage of the country. IPAJ delegations have been established in every provincial capital. In 2009, IPAJ was active in 81 districts, including 16 on a mobile basis and 65 on a permanent basis, which is equivalent to 60.74% of the country’s territory. In 2010, IPAJ covered 111 districts, 22 districts more than in 2009. This represents a 24.72% increase. 82. Access to justice in Mozambique is based on the constitutional principle of juridical diversity as stipulated in Article 4 of the CRM: “The State shall recognize the various conflict resolution systems and standards in place in Mozambican society, provided that they are not against the fundamental values and principles of the Constitution”. This means that in Mozambique citizens are free to seek recourse in either formal (Courts) or informal (customary justice) legal instances, as long as informal instances do not undermine the principles of a State based on the rule of law. This principle should be read in conjunction with the Combined Report from the Republic of Mozambique to the ACHPR, 1999-2010 18
