Through dialogue we can construct a system of justice that that is transformative and uplifts human rights .<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I invite everyone to take advantage of the State Center of Alternative Justice, instead of using the old judicial system.  In this way, we can live in harmony, which is possible as long as we have the enthusiasm to work for unity among all of us and the conviction that we can achieve it&#8221;, concluded Rutilio Escand\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>(Click <a href=\"http:\/\/spanish.cpnn-world.org\/?p=6877\">here for the original article in Spanish<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 46%;\"><strong>Discussion question<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 46%;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 46%;\">\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=7419\">Restorative justice, What does it look like in practice?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>. .
