Two great questions about how to do to meet all the people who live there in these communities? And how to preserve peace in that territory?, immersed in the humanist project of the Judges and Judges of the Peace, begin to clear themselves with the training process as a fundamental pillar for the construction of a new communal state based on territorial pacification and the justice.
Commander Hugo Chávez entered the importance of the law to organize the justice of peace in the communities, dynamic in which the judges and judges of the peace were elected by universal, direct and secret vote, in order to promote conciliation, mediation and mediation and The arbitration, for the resolution of conflicts, as contemplated in article 258 of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, sanctioned and promulgated in 1999.
In this sense, the formation and training of communal peace judges are fundamental to guarantee their adequate performance and contribute to the construction of a new communal state based on justice and equity.
This is a process that has been specifying after the election of more than 28 thousand judges and judges of communal peace, on December 15, 2024; The next step was the beginning of the training, on Saturday, January 25, 2025, when the judges and judges elected began to receive the necessary tools and knowledge for the exercise of their functions.
The president of the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice and National Coordinator of Communal Peace Justice, Tania D’Amelio, in an interview granted to the presidential press team, explained that, to date, these programs have addressed issues such as the resolution such as the resolution of conflicts, mediation, conciliation, the application of communal justice, coexistence, mediator profile and what are the means of action for conflict resolution.
In defining the justice of communal peace as an alternative means for the resolution of conflicts in the communities, D’Amelio said that the more than 28 thousand judges and judges of the peace, at the national scale, have attended with great mystique and commitment to the Physical spaces, depending on complying with training, whose character is mandatory.
“It is important to note that the presence of the judges and judges of the peace is mandatory, so that they can count on the necessary tools, so that at the time they correspond to work with the communities, know how to guide and what they should do.” , detailed the magistrate, as part of an initial process of training contemplated in the Organic Law of Communal Peace Justice, in its article 20.
The National Coordinator of Communal Peace Justice considered the training vital, because this will give way to accreditation as judges and judges of the Judicial Branch.
At present, they have a credential issued by the National Electoral Council (CNE), with a view to obtaining an accreditation of the TSJ, which endorses them for acting as judge and justice judges.
Accounts in Citizens Assemblies
In this path of training and action, the Judges and Judges of the Peace, after completing the training, after six months, must accounts for assemblies of Citizens, in each territory where they were elected, explained D’Amelio, who argued that these these Programs contribute to promoting citizen participation and strengthening the social fabric within the framework of this humanistic project.
Fundamental role: reunit the community
The highest authority of the Judiciary said that the Judges and Judges of the Peace have the golden opportunity to meet the community, with patience and love. “They have the fundamental role that it is to meet that community (…) because the justice of the peace is called to be that patient, loving man, for that reason, the requirement and demand that they live in the community. Who else who lives in the community can know about the problems that are there? ”
In this context, he stressed that the principles that must govern the judges and judges of the peace is the moral authority, remembering that the training process also transcurrees in the dynamics of pointing out the responsibilities of the justice of the peace.
He illustrated, in that line, the two big problems in which we must work: the process of receiving complaints for the issue of gender violence and the articulation and protection of children and adolescents in the communities.
The heterogeneity of the project
The president of the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice and National Coordinator of Communal Peace Justice, emphasizes one of the particularities of this project such as its heterogeneity, that is, it has the man and the woman on foot who lives in the community in which it was elected.
“We find housewives, men and women with the desire to participate in this process, to guarantee peace in the community” who “a professionalization was never demanded.”
Minimize judicializations
If there is something important in this process (D’Amelio stressed) is the decrease in judicializations and I fully believe in that, as part of the judicial revolution.
“I am sure that the judicialization of cases will be minimized, since this project is consolidated even more in the community,” he added.
A dream plan that is being fulfilled
The magistrate qualifies this dreamer plan, because this was dreamed of Chávez, who “presented that article 258 of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela because this is a constitutional project. 258 says that men and women go to an electoral process, to be justice of the peace (…) and the 253 says that it is part of the justice system what is conflict resolution. ”
With emphasis he argued that “it is constitutional, it is not something made of the hair, but adjusted to real time and each community.”
Venezuela epicenter of the Judicial Revolution
D’Amelio stressed that currently many people in the world must be wondering what is happening in Venezuela? What are the judges and judges of the Peace to do?
He pointed out that although there are experiences in other countries, what differentiates Venezuela is that it does not limit the applicant for his professional profile, which is why he considered that “experience in Venezuela will be a reference for the world.”
He did not doubt when he Reunion. This is going to be a wonderful project, the consolidation of peace in the territory. ”
