Beschrijving Legal Dissonance

Papua New Guinea's two most powerful legal orders - customary law and state criminal law - undermine each other in criminal matters. This phenomenon, called legal dissonance, can lead to an activity being advanced by one legal order and punished by the other, leading to injustice and each legal order's diminished ability to deter wrongdoing.
