ABSTRACT Background: The history of the judiciary's role in protecting human rights and development can be traced back to various significant events and cases that have shaped the legal landscape of many countries. The judiciary system refers to the legal and court system responsible for the administration of justice in a country. Objective/ Purpose of the Research Study: The main purpose of this study is to examine the Somali judiciary's role in protecting human rights and promoting development. Finding: The table showed that the majority gender of the respondents were male, 30 (60%) of the total respondents. The table showed that the most single-marital status respondents were 32 respondents, and their percentage was 44.8% of the total percentage. The table showed that the majority ages of respondents between 20-29 years were 20 (40%) of the total respondents. The table showed that the majority of years of experience respondents less than 1 year were 18 respondents, and their percentage was .36% of the total percentage. The table showed that the majority of the respondents' educational level was 17, and their percentage was 34% of the total percentage. Conclusion: Preserving the prevailing role of the judiciary is vital to protecting human rights. The standards developed by the judiciary significantly benefit people's lives and make accomplishing the government's goals easier. In addition, these standards may ensure a better understanding of the relationship between the people and their government, on the one hand, and among the members of the international community, on the other. Recommendation: Currently in Somaliland there is no check and balance on the corrupt practices of justice actors. There is no systematic monitoring undertaken or any watchdog organization, such as a strong law society or other civil society group, to hold actors to account. In addition, there is a passive acceptance of the situation by members of society and no active demand for change.
