Justice Without Harm: A Commitment to Strengthening Access to Justice

Abstract

The intention of this article is to reflect about the relationship that can be established between access to the administration of justice and the Do No Harm approach, taking into account the appearance of the strategy of Local Justice Systems in Colombia. In this sense, the article explains how access to justice faces a series of difficulties of a structural nature, how the emergence of territorial justice strategies is opportune, and the pertinence of building them hand in hand with the Do No Harm approach. The document is the result of some research considerations in the experience of forming Local Justice Systems in Bogotá D.C. in conjunction with the Universidad Nacional of Colombia.
