VOA常速英语:Supporting Community Justice in the Dominican Republic(翻译)

The United States Government, through the US Agency for International Development, or USAID,and the non-partisan civic movement Participacion Ciudadana recently celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Community House of Justice program.
美国政府通过美国国际开发署（USAID），和无党派公民运动公民参与组织在近期庆祝了社区司法程序中心成立10周年。

This successful initiative began as a pilot project for the promotion and use of Mediation and Conciliation methods.These are regarded as important tools to increase access to justice, particularly for vulnerable populations.During the celebration, U.S. Ambassador James Brewster praised the hard work and commitment of Participacion Ciudadana, the Attorney General’s Office, the municipality and civil society.The success of the program, the Ambassador noted, allows access to justice in communities with high crime rates.
这项成功举措开始于一个实验项目，以促进和使用仲裁和调解方法。这些方法被看做是增加司法普及面的重要手段，特别是对于弱势群体而言。在庆祝活动期间，美国大使詹姆斯·布鲁斯特称赞了公民参与组织、总检察长办公室、市政府和民间团体付出的努力和履行的承诺。大使指出，司法程序的成功使高犯罪率的社区可以得到司法保护。

Community Justice Houses establish a space where the Judiciary, the Public Ministry, municipalities,and the business sector come together, through the coordination of civil society.The pilot initiative has successfully been replicated.There are now nine Community Justice Houses in the Dominican Republic,in Santiago, Moca, San Francisco, La Vega, Esperanza, Mao, and the National District.
社区司法中心建立了一个场所，在这里司法部、公共部、市政府和商业部门通过民间团体的合作联系在一起。试点项目已经被成功复制。现在共有9所社区司法中心，分别在多米尼加共和国、圣地亚哥、莫卡、旧金山、拉维加、埃斯佩兰萨、马奥和国家地区。

The Community Justice House Program has benefited more than 250,000 people through conflict resolution in family, labor and community related issues.These include such difficult issues as alimony, child custody, visitation rights,estate matters, boundary disputes, leases, and debts.The Houses also help prevent violence in the communities,because citizens have free access to services such as conciliation, mediation, legal counseling,psychological care, coordination with social organizations and civic education,and care for gender-based and domestic violence victims.
社区司法中心程序使25万多人获益，通过解决家庭、劳动力和社区相关问题的争端。这些问题包括诸如赡养费、儿童监护、探视权利、房地产问题、边界纠纷、租赁和债务等难点问题。该中心也有助于预防社区暴力，因为公民们享受免费服务，诸如调解、仲裁、法律咨询、心理治疗服务，该中心与社会组织和公民教育项目合作，并关注性别和家庭暴力受害者。

Participacion Ciudadana National Coordinator, Josefina Arvelo, said the program has been highly effective,and she advocated for more replication of the Community Justice House model to different parts of the country.
公民参与组织国家协调人约瑟芬娜·阿维洛称该程序非常有效，并且她倡导复制更多社区司法中心模式到该国的不同地区。

For over five decades, USAID has collaborated closely with the people and government of the Dominican Republic.They have worked together to increase sustainable developmentand strengthen the country’s health care, economy, governance, justice, civil society and education.To date, USAID has invested more than $1.7 billion in the Dominican Republic.This is very much a partnership that works well for both the United States and the Dominican Republic, as well as for the region.
