En este artículo se expone la ambigüedad creciente que caracteriza la administración de justicia en el Sudan Meridional desde que, gracias a los acuerdos de paz de 2005, se puso en marcha un gobierno autónomo. Mientras el Estado fue un ente lejano y ajeno por el monopolio que ejercían sobre él las poblaciones del norte, sus tribunales de justicia, por precarios que fueran, pudieron ser vistos en el sur como un agente neutral, en tanto que distanciado de las redes de poder locales: era el considerado ámbito hakuma del poder, al que solo se recurría cuando los sistemas de resolución de conflictos más próximos, basados en los lazos de parentesco, fracasaban. Sin embargo, la creación de un gobierno autónomo ha aproximado el ámbito hakuma a la realidad local, creando interferencias entre dos realidades que se habían acostumbrado a funcionar en paralelo. Esta nueva situación ha generado nuevas dinámicas en la forma de reaccionar ante los conflictos locales y, lógicamente, también en la forma de encarar su resolución.
