29/12/2011 07:43:31
As part of a rehabilitation project funded to the tune of about USD$40.000 by the Section of Human Rights (SDH) of the MINUSTAH [the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)], the library of the School of Magistrates (EMA) in Haiti has been transformed into a center "modern of documentation".
"The place is much more spacious. It was not like this before, there has been a lot of improvements," pointed out Me Jean Joseph Dorcély, Administrative Director of the EMA, indicating that the objective "was to transform the local, which in 1997 housed a library, the office of the EMA and sometimes was used as conference room, in a true documentation center."
Now, the building of 260 square meters houses not only a library but also a reading room, a room dedicated to computers, three administrative offices, a storage room for documents and a reception hall.
As for the reading room, separated from shelves, it can "accommodate a hundred people and also serve as a conference space." Moreover, a mobile podium has been set up, indicated the director of the center, Me Fritz Gérald Tassy, who recalled that the space had housed, in October, the opening ceremony of the judicial year. Always according to the latter, the center is open to all "judges, legal professionals, students and researchers."
