ARTICLE - MIN. OF JUSTICE - CSPJ

THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE IS TRYING TO REASSURE THE MAGISTRATES ON THE CSPJ
(Haiti Libre) -

Following the announcement of the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Cassation, to create 3 technical commissions, the National Association of Haitian Magistrates and the Bar Federation of Haiti had denounced earlier this week, the new deadlines for the installations of members of the Supreme Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ).

Facing the protests and demands expressed, accompanied by a strike threat, Michel Brunache, the Minister of Justice and Public Security has tried to reassure the magistrates.

"...we are moving forward, we are closer than farther, all members are known and have passed the certification process and the commissions that we have put in place are there to accelerate once again the installation of the CSPJ; to comply not only with the law of November 2007 of the CSPJ, ....the Law of the Ministry, and to make the harmonization between these two laws, so that once the CSPJ is installed, it is fully functional.

The commissions have been created. It is precisely to see how we can accelerate the processon on the one hand of the budget, searching a premises for the CSPJ and especially, what is most important, to see how skills transfer will be done by the Ministry of Justice towards the CSPJ.

I will not judge the demands of the National Association of Magistrates. The only thing I can say is that it is impatience, while we advance ourselves. There is a determination to install the CSPJ. We are moving forward. Everyone can see that if there is a delay, it does not come from us [...] The installation is definitely soon. I am totally satisfied, although I understand that everyone wants to go faster..."
