## Resource

As South Sudan prepares for its first-ever post-independence elections, how disputes are handled could define the credibility of the entire process. Electoral justice, protecting the right to vote, resolving disputes, and ensuring accountability, is at the heart of peaceful and credible elections. In this discussion, Yach Garang is joined by: Hon. Manuel Makum, Commissioner at the National Elections Commission. Advocate Arop Malueth, President of the South Sudan Bar Association. Dr. Barnaba Korina, Executive Director of the Vision Center for Legal Studies and Training. Ms. Sarah Abeja, Country Coordinator at the Women’s International Peace Centre Katie Ellena, Senior Electoral Justice Consultant, UNMISS. Together, they examine the systems in place, recent legal reforms, and what must be done to ensure fair, credible, and peaceful elections.
