Alternative Dispute Resolution

The alternative models for the resolution of electoral disputes are structured in both a temporal and alternative way. The existence of alternative models implies the existence of an ordinary one which is not working, an ordinary one which is not producing the expected results.

 

Usually, an alternative model for the resolution of electoral disputes is integrated by special agencies composed by experts and endorsed by international agencies under the United Nations jurisdiction.

 

Under such circumstances those in charge of solving electoral disputes have to take into account the legal and political customs from every single region. However, we must not ignore, neither the due process of law considerations, nor the democratic principles such as individual rights to free and fair elections.

 

Alternative models for the resolution of electoral disputes have been successfully implemented in Cambodia, Bosnia and South Africa.
