8 Community-driven conflict resolution: The abunzi mediators in Rwanda Dr. Martha Mutisi, African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD), South Africa. Abstract This paper examines a Rwandan traditional dispute resolution and justice systems known as abunzi, paying special attention to its role in community-driven peace-building. The abunzi or local level mediation is part of the Rwandan justice and conflict resolution system, engrained in the rubric of restorative justice as it helps Rwandan people to address their conflicts without resorting to litigation and other retributive approaches. The paper highlights in detail how the reincarnation of the abunzi following the genocide in Rwanda has helped the state to decentralize justice and empower local community with the capacity to resolve their disputes without the challenges associated with modern justice systems. In addition, the paper demonstrates that the abunzi system, by bringing together community members in a forum of dialogue and resolution, has become part of the repertoire of social healing processes and rituals in Rwanda. Despite these benefits, the paper is wary of too much state oversight in the abunzi processes, and cautions of the possibility of abunzi becoming just another state-mandated mediation whose ultimate result could be a dramaturgical representation of reconciliation and community building. For true community ownership of justice, the paper advocates diminished state interference in the affairs and processes of the abunzi. 138
