Within this framework, and in close coordination with the Ministry for Justice and Public safety, the School of the Magistrature, the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Minustah, the UNDP supports the installation of an initial training of pupils magistrates at the National school of the Magistrature of Bordeaux in France. Within this framework about twenty pupils recruited by the means of a national competition, will follow as from September 2010 the course of the listeners of Justice of the National school of the Magistrature, before carrying out training courses in jurisdiction, initially in France then in Haiti.

This training on techniques of criminal investigation aimed at judicial police, judges of Peace, Government Commissioners and Judges of education. The groups consist of representatives of each of these institutions and courts will deepen their knowledge in the investigation and especially the functional relationship existing between each player in the investigation. This workshop aims to end not only improving relations between individual actors but also improve the quality of criminal investigations in Haiti and thus facilitate the holding of trials within the time prescribed by law.

At the end of 21 training sessions a report evaluating each group will allow the Department of Justice and Public Security, MINUSTAH and UNDP to develop a more comprehensive training of all actors the criminal chain.

The training of department heads and senior executives of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security:
These are two different configurations to enhance staff knowledge of Ministry of Justice and Security.
