Description: "A total of 102 illegal Myanmar migrant workers have been sent back from Thailand as the latest batch, Myanmar's immigration authorities said Wednesday. The illegal migrant workers including 10 women and two children were handed over by Thailand's Ranong Immigration Department through Kawthoung border gate in southern Tanintharyi region on Tuesday evening.

Description: "...This paper examines the value and limitations of HLP restitution in contexts of customary land tenure and legal pluralism and examines the role that customary justice can play as part of a transitional justice process. It argues that actors involved with restitution and broader efforts to reinstate justice, the rule of law, and democracy in post-conflict and transitional contexts should engage, albeit under certain conditions, with nonstate justice mechanisms. For the overwhelming majority of populations in developing countries, which is where most internally displaced persons (IDPs) live, customary justice is the only accessible form of justice. Engagement with it is essential to improving access to justice and to reforming or influencing its rules and processes in accordance with the human rights and democratic principles promoted by transitional justice..."
