Legal Reform in Haiti

There is widespread support within Haiti for reform of Haiti's criminal laws that date from the 1860s. Haitian laws do not reflect contemporary criminal justice standards and international human rights norms and do not address some of the most serious crimes that are committed in Haiti. The process of legal reform is underway.

The challenges and opportunities of reforming Haiti's criminal code will be discussed by Rene Magloire, Special Advisor to the Haitian President on Legal Reform, and a panel of experts.
