The Regional Office of the Justice Section of the UN Mission for Stabilization in Haiti (Minustah) has launched at the beginning of the month the active phase of the project "Strengthening of the operational capabilities of the institutions of the rule of law in the department of the South" in partnership with the Court of First Instance of the Les Cayes and the NGO CARITAS.
