The Centre for Peace and Justice (CPJ), a human rights group in South Sudan, has welcomed the recent decision taken by judges to end their five-month strike without a deal.
The general assembly of the striking judges agreed to resume work on September 11.
Over 270 judges went on strike since May to demand higher salaries, better working conditions, and the resignation of the country’s chief justice Chan Reech, whom they accuse of ignoring their demands.
The strike paralysed the over-stretched judiciary in the world’s youngest nation, which has been suffering from a civil war for more than four years.
CPJ's Coordinator Tito Anthony said in a statement on Friday that the decision was good because it would give innocent people their rights to free trials.
"I call on our president to immediately reinstate the dismissed judges and justices to continue their work normally,” he said.
"President Salva Kiir should take good decisions toward improving working conditions of justices and judges by fulfilling their demands to avoid future strikes,” he added.
The rights defender urged President Kiir to appoint a new Chief Justice Chan Reech Madut to void future strikes by South Sudan judges.
