Haiti - Constitution : The Parliamentary Commission should submit its report today
Yesterday, Thursday, the second working session of the Commission on the review of the statement of amendment of the Constitution, composed of 9 Deputies and 6 Senators, was devoted largely to technical intervention of lawyers and constitutional experts whose Me Montferrier Dorval, Me Henri Dorléans, the Bâtonnier Charles Gervais and Me Kedler Augustin who took part in this Session, at the initiative of the Bar of Port-au-Prince. Besides the dual nationality, the experts have discussed of the establishment of a Constitutional Court or Constitutional Council , of the reform of the electoral system and the presidential vacancy.

Me Dorval, professor of constitutional law, expressed reservations on some points, among other things, he urged legislators not to make concessions on the nationality of the President of the Republic which must be "Haitian by birth and origin..."

Sen. Youri Latortue (Artibonite) reported that all members of the Commission, which he sits, is broadly favourable to the creation of a Constitutional Court in lieu of the Constitutional Council, as provided in the proposition of amendment. Stating that this issue, like that of the nationality, of the change of frequency of elections, and the provisions for the drafting of the final report, require a consensus. Youri Latortue remains confident that the Commission can present this Friday, such as planned, in National Assembly, its report on the declaration of amendment of the Constitution of 1987.

However, recall that last Wednesday, Rodolphe Joazile, the President of the Upper House (Senate), had warned the Commission that it had no right to touch the fundamental of the declaration of amendments, but should focus only on material errors....

The 49th Legislature has until next Monday (3 days) to decide the future of the Constitution.
