Notes:	This paper explores the feasibility and convenience of reinstating Indigenous customary law to acknowledge indigenous people's rights and restore community harmony and discipline. An overview of the recognition of customary law within Australian institutions and the international trend is provided. Regarding the problems of violence, a number of initiatives are considered under an Indigenous Community Justice system. These include alternatives to court appearances, Indigenous elders' participation in sentencing, early interventions, shaming techniques, and cultural learning programmes.
