![]() Haiti - Justice : For the POHDH, the rule of law is not a slogan ! 04/01/2012 09:32:12
"...I think we have two problems, first we must recall that the position of Government Commissioner is a position that has a political dimension, because it is the direct representative of the executive at the level of the judicial power, which must have the role of defending the society against crime [...] the first thing is the government's behavior, which often seeks to influence the Commissioner on issues of justice. It's true that he represents it, but in the records of Justice the law must be the compass. The second thing is that sometimes the Commissioner, also, made overzealous, and at that time, those who are the main victims, it is the justiciable, cases linger at the level the prosecution, or the cabinet of instructions has difficulty to acting on certain issues and again, I think this question requires a lot of thinking in terms of judicial reform, compared to the forces of the Government Commissioner in relation to the political dimension, that there is at the level of the issue. I think it must be the subject of reflection at the level of people, who think that the independence of justice reforms, as such, must be at the service of the population [...] ...normally the Constitution created a momentum within the state for the leaders take the law as a compass, which means that if you want to respect the Constitution of 1987, we are already in the rule of law. The rule of law is not just a slogan [...] since we are missing the law we are no longer under the rule of law [...] and at this time we can not talk about it. The rule of law means that the law is applied to all persons, whatever their authority, their level in society, in the same way. [...] for some time there are actions, behavior that the authorities have, that does not fit with the law..."
