  ABSTRACT: The question of the rights and freedoms respect of every person is always raised in all corners of the world. It is best dealt with in legislation that emphasizes human rights principles. The latter is, among other things, guaranteed by justice, a keystone in the prevention and repression of the violation of human rights. To achieve this, the justice institution must be independent and accessible, especially for the local population. At the base of the judiciary power, Burundi has always had traditional conflict resolution mechanisms. This article highlights the complementary role that the institution of the Council of Notables and the Bashingantahe institution must play in promoting the independence of local justice in Burundi.
