A/HRC/23/31 more accessible than statutory courts, the line between customary and statutory courts is often blurred in both law and in practice. The task of reconciling customary law with human rights standards is a challenge. To address this problem, the Human Rights Division of UNMISS has developed and delivered a series of training programmes in three States that will be followed by an additional 10 training activities for traditional courts in all States. 56. The judiciary, prosecutors and law enforcement officials need to strengthen their capacity to deal with vulnerable persons and to develop a comprehensive policy framework for vulnerable groups, including juvenile justice provisions. A juvenile remand review was established in July 2011 with the aim of reducing the amount of time that children spend in pretrial detention and providing advocacy with the judiciary and relevant stakeholders to promote and protect the rights of children in detention. Similar initiatives are under way in several States. The need for continuous capacity-building for the actors in the penal chain on juvenile justice is clear, as is the need to establish juvenile courts presided over by specialized judges. 57. Women detainees are among the most vulnerable and are often held for reasons that do not amount to criminal offences (such as adultery). Women are disproportionately arrested, detained and sanctioned under the adultery law, with harsh consequences for them and their children. D. National Prison Service of South Sudan 58. The National Prison Service of South Sudan continues to fall short in fulfilling its mandate to be correctional, reformative and rehabilitative. International actors working with the prison system have commended the leadership of the Service, which is aware of applicable international standards, but faces severe resource challenges and a lack of capacity among prison personnel, particularly at the State level. In November 2012, the Government formed a high-level delegation to oversee the prison service, but the panel has not made any follow-up visits since its establishment. 59. The Corrections Advisory Section of the UNMISS Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions provides the National Prison Service with advice and technical assistance, in addition to corrections advisers assigned to facilities throughout South Sudan. The Human Rights Division of UNMISS has developed and delivered extensive training programmes for correctional officers in all 10 States, besides monitoring prison conditions and assisting prison authorities in resolving human rights concerns. New facilities are needed, as is a greater financial and human capacity to maintain prison facilities and to enforce respect for international standards. 60. Special attention needs to be paid to vulnerable detainees, including women, juveniles and people with disabilities, who may spend weeks and months in detention awaiting trial as a result of delays in criminal investigations and trial processes, gaps in knowledge of applicable criminal laws and procedures, lack of coordination among criminal justice organs, the unavailability of victims and witnesses, lack of adequate transport, infrastructure, record-keeping and case-management, and lack of rights awareness and legal aid services. E. Human Rights Commission 61. The Human Rights Commission of South Sudan was established prior to independence under the transitional Constitution and the Human Rights Commission Act 2009. By 2011, the Commission had established a presence in all 10 states, with UNMISS 12
