Abstract

Island Courts were established in Vanuatu in the mid nineteen eighties to provide a forum for the resolution of customary law disputes. However, the island courts, where operational, have remained largely unused. This paper outlines some of the difficulties with the legal framework of the island courts that prevents them from successfully fulfilling their purpose.
