ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the normative impact of these multiple layers of law, borrowing Santos notion of the interaction between porous legal orders as interlegality to analyze the influence of international human rights norms on camp justice practice. In Mae La Oon, adultery was still considered a very serious crime and, for those who were familiar with the terminology, it was also considered to be a form of sexual and gender based violence. Protection of refugee women and refugee children is an organizational priority for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and a commitment to tackling violence against refugee women has been codified in numerous UNHCR documents. Karen Women Organization (KWO) stands bravely and firmly for the women. Many KWO works in progress because they work for the community and the women can trust and depend on them. The chapter concludes by examining human rights claims-making in a case before the Justice Committee in Mae La Oon.
