History of Camp Rules and Regulations pcef;enf;Oya'ESifhpnf;rsOf;Oya'orkdif;
Camp Rule and Regulations • KnRC drafted the first rules and regulations with consultation from CBOs, camp committee, religious leaders, and well respected people from community. • The Rules and Regulation are: • Based on Customary/traditional belief (such as cleansing ceremony, compensation with chicken, blanket…etc) • Reference from Myanmar Penal Law / Myanmar Traditional Law
Camp Justice system • The implementation of camp rules and regulations are: • Based on Myanmar criminal procedure code and police manual/ court manual • The outcome of agreed solution is required to be done in the form of promissory note/ compensation/ detention as punishment. Hearing/solution Civil cases Criminal cases
Challenge • There is only first instance and there is no further review in the case of dissatisfaction of the outcome. • Inability to trace escaped perpetrator who escape out of camp • Lack of enough staff who has the knowledge of law. • Staffs changing ( Camp security, Camp Justice, etc. who are implementation the rule and regulation.
Limitation • Limitation of unregistered to be referred to Thai Justice System • No basic support to the camp detainees. • Not enough security staff to operate
Difficulties • According to the camp rule and regulation, there is a time limit to use detention facilities so if the case is very serious the time limit is still imposed. • No proportionality in case of a more serious crime. • No guideline on imposing the fines and leave too much for the judge’s discretion.
