Haiti - NOTICE : 7th edition of the Pleading Competition, call for candidacies
The Human Rights Office in Haiti (BDHH) is pleased to launch the 7th edition of the Human Rights Pleading Competition. The competition comprises two distinct phases : the written pre-selection and the oratorical contests. It is open to students from all universities in the country who have completed at least three years of law studies - and those who graduated less than a year ago.
After the role of lawyers in strengthening the rule of law, prolonged preventive detention, the responsibility of the State in deaths in prison, the prosecution of acts of corruption, the place of the victim in the criminal trial, the written pre-selection wishes this year to highlight a crucial issue, too often neglected : "the right to identity and civil status in Haiti"
