Since time immemorial, community or communal forms of conflict resolution have existed in the Andes. Pre-Inca cultural and social organizations such as Chavín, Tiahuanaco and Wari (to mention the best known) are an example of the level of development of these forms of resolution based on their social, cultural and religious relationships, as well as their daily needs. With the Inca Empire, this community justice was not lost. Although the Inca, his nobility and his church came to take precedence from the central government of Cusco, these community forms continued in the ayllus, in the regions and surely also in the four of them that comprised the great empire.
