%X Si l¡¯implantation de la justice p¨¦nale comme socle de la justice occidentale n¡¯a laiss¨¦ que peu de place ¨¤ des modalit¨¦s alternatives, les conflits arm¨¦s bouleversent les structures sociales et peuvent ainsi permettre l¡¯apparition de conceptualisations diff¨¦rentes de la justice. L¡¯article explore cette hypoth¨¨se ¨¤ partir d¡¯une recherche qualitative r¨¦alis¨¦e en R¨¦publique D¨¦mocratique du Congo. Les r¨¦sultats obtenus conduisent ¨¤ conclure qu¡¯il se produit dans ce pays un renforcement du p¨¦nal, l¨¦gitim¨¦ par les efforts d¡¯am¨¦lioration du syst¨¨me d¨¦ploy¨¦s par les acteurs de la justice. The institutionalisation of penal justice as the buttress of Western justice has left limited room to the development of alternative modes of justice. However, armed conflicts challenge societies¡¯ structures thus allowing alternative forms of justice to emerge. We conducted a qualitative research to explore this hypothesis and concluded that the transitional period in the Democratic Republic of Congo has in fact led to a strengthening of the penal system. Furthermore, the attempts deployed by social actors to improve the system have resulted in its fortification and legitimisation.
