Work Begins on Drafting the New Constitution

In a note published on its Facebook page, the National Conference announced last week the launch of the drafting work for the new Constitution, presented as a decisive step for the country's future with a view to rebuilding institutions. This follows the collection of a series of proposals issued by various sectors of national life during sessions organized across the country, according to the statement. A drafting committee, composed of numerous personalities, including legal experts, is responsible for developing the preliminary draft.
Subsequently, the document will be subject to debates before the finalization of the text, which will be submitted to a referendum. Having participated in this working session, some of the speakers have expertise in the field of law. This is the case for Me Gervais Charles, former President of the Port-au-Prince Bar Association, Me Raphaël Emmanuel, public law expert, Professor Marky Jean Pierre, president of the Creole Academy, Me Gardy Lissade, lawyer, Judge Nora Jean François, Me Franck LAUTURE, member of the national conference steering committee, the Dean of the Faculty of Law and Economic Sciences, Me Eugène Pierre Louis, as well as Professor Enex Jean Charles, the president of the national conference steering committee. The entire review process aims to lay the foundations for a modern constitution, capable of responding to current economic and political realities, through effective governance based on the principles of democracy, social justice, and national sovereignty, while reflecting the aspirations of the Haitian people.
