University of Basrah Organizes a Workshop on the Possibility of Applying the (Jakaka) System to Iraqi Society
The Basra and Gulf Studies Center, in cooperation with the Center for Development and Continuing Education, organized a workshop on the (Jakaka) system and the possibility of applying it to Iraqi society.
The workshop, in which Dr. Wejdan Karoun Freih lectured, discussed the possibility of adopting the (Jakaka) system applied in the Democratic Republic of Rwanda after the end of the civil war and the genocide in 1994, which affected about one million people for tribal reasons and the similarity of its circumstances to what the country was exposed to in terms of ethnic and sectarian genocide between 2014-2017 at the hands of ISIS terrorist gangs.
The (Jakaka) system requires the formation of courts of civilian citizens in which the perpetrators confess their guilt in committing mass massacres in exchange for social services they provide to those they harmed or to the families of the victims in order to forgive and pardon them.
