New Judicial Year : Wishes from the Minister

"The new judicial year 2025-2026 undoubtedly marks the return to work at the level of our Courts and Tribunals in the various jurisdictions of the Republic. Our leitmotif for the year 2025-2026 is unequivocal: Fight against impunity, this cancer that eats away at our society, fuels gang violence, and shatters the trust of citizens. Patrick Pélissier, the Minister of Justice and Public Security, wishes the sitting and standing magistrates, lawyers, clerks, bailiffs, litigants, and all other judicial actors a happy judicial year filled with serenity, impartiality, and a commitment to service. May the spirit of the law guide us all!" See also : https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-45935-haiti-justice-3-penitentiaries-under-construction-for-more-than-15-000-inmates.html
