  • This report examines the customary criminal justice system in Zambia, a plural legal system where informal customary laws of 73 ethnic groups operate parallel to a formal statutory system. While the state does not formally recognize traditional courts administered by chiefs, these systems remain viable and preferred by many rural populations due to their accessibility, use of vernacular languages, and restorative approach to justice. However, the system faces significant challenges, including a lack of codification, gender-based discrimination, and friction with state-administered local courts.
