Independent Maẓālim panel active

This criterion assesses whether the organization has established and maintains an active independent panel based on the Islamic Maẓālim tradition to address grievances, particularly those involving power imbalances. It evaluates the organization's commitment to just conflict resolution through a mechanism that provides impartial review of complaints against leadership or the organization itself. The panel interfaces with HR grievances, safeguarding, and whistleblowing frameworks through a documented triage protocol that establishes strict primacy for statutory safeguarding and criminal investigations to prevent interference, while ensuring accountability and redress for those who might otherwise lack voice or power.
