118. The State must take appropriate steps to strengthen juvenile justice system of Maldives. State must refer to international standards and best practices in developing any mechanism for juvenile justice. The State should review entrusting the management of Juvenile detention/correctional facility to an appropriate authority. Accessibility to Justice System 119. The Justice System of Maldives is not fully accessible to the disabled person and migrant workers. Although, the courts have a list of translators whom they use in court proceeding, the courts do not have their own translators, interpreters and assistive devices for persons with disabilities. Some lawyers have raised their concern stating that these translators are not competent and the courts do not cross examine them. Some judges have informed HRCM that in cases where interpreters are needed for the court proceedings, the defendants have to bring their own interpreters. The trial courts (Criminal Court, Family Court, Civil Court and Juvenile Court) are situated on the first floor and above in the Justice Building in the capital, which does not provide adequate access for persons with disabilities. 121. The State should develop accessibility standards and create an enabling environment in the courts so that the justice system would be fully accessible to the public. State should take urgent measures to strengthen the judiciary and to provide the constitutionally guaranteed independence. The JSC should evaluate judges and magistrates for their eligibility and competence in applying constitutional law, ensuring equality before the law, and applying human rights standards when interpreting domestic legislations. Judiciary must further utilize the allocated budget to properly perform its functions. Article 17: Right to Privacy 122. The present Constitution ensures everyone the right to respect for private and family life, home and private communications (article 24). The Constitution further guarantees that residential property shall be inviolable, and shall not be entered without the consent of the resident, except to prevent immediate and serious harm to life or property, or under Chapter: Article 17: Right to Privacy 120. The system fails to provide a conducive environment that offers safety and confidence to both parties in settling family matters in situations where one of the involved parties and family members threaten one another. Even in divorce cases where a spousal abuse is involved, the victimized spouse has to stay in the same island with the abusive spouse, with the possibility of getting further abused as these cases do not get transferred to Courts in the capital or another island. 48
