A/HRC/27/71 collection, analysis and dissemination of traditional dispute resolution data, and establishing a policy on traditional dispute resolution. It also requires designing and implementing a system for monitoring outcomes and implementing the traditional dispute resolution policy. The estimated cost of this activity is US$600,000.4 46. The Independent Expert believes that that activity is critical to a sustainable judicial system. It responds to the urgent needs of access to justice by all. The challenge shall be to ensure that the policy and legal framework for traditional dispute resolution meets international human rights standards. The Independent Expert holds the view that any support towards this initiative should endeavour to ensure that the policy and its implementation are in line with international human rights standards. 47. The Independent Expert also holds the view that since the Xeer system is understood by the vast majority of Somali people, it could be part of a judicial system, to underpin the peace and reconciliation programme. If this view is acceptable in principle, a thorough study and analysis should be undertaken involving the Federal Government, parliamentarians, the judiciary, politicians, elders, scholars, professionals, both local and from the diaspora, and civil society in general, assisted by reputable institutions knowledgeable in Islamic sharia, Somali culture and history. In this regard, countries which form part of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation such as Mauritania could have experiences to share on how they have applied sharia, statutory law and customary laws. Subsequently a reform process of Xeer could be implemented on a medium to long-term basis. 4 12 See National Strategic Plan for Justice Reform, part 4.2, p. 38.
