State Authority is present in most parts of the countyCounty. But the activities of the countyCounty Administration (MIA) and Line Ministries and agencies deployed in the countyCounty has been hampered by capacity constraints, inadequate logistics and lack of office space. Giving the inaccessibility problem of Grand Kru County, Rule of Law institutions are affected by the result of inadequate reporting instances of human rights abuses.

For instance, during the August Term of Court 2007 the Assigned Judge was unable to reach Barclayville due to the blockade of the Plebo-Barclayville Highway. For the same reason of inaccessibility, the twenty-eighty Magisterial Courts cannot be properly monitored.

There are reported cases of extortion of money, illegal detention and unjust practices. Since crimes continue to be committed in the absence of recognized correction facilities, magisterial authorities have resulted to the detention of suspects and/or criminals in makeshift facilities. In the mining areas, it is alleged that there are a host of human rights abuses mainly involving children being used as minors and plotters. The children are therefore vulnerable to child prostitution, teenage pregnancy, early marriages and school dropout.

The inaccessibility situation has also made it difficult to monitor whether children of Grand Kru enjoy their rights to education particularly at the primary level for whom the free and compulsory education has been introduced. There are reported cases of trial by ordeal, which often result to illegal detention and forced labor.
