Justice That Serves the People

Under Pi Bon Ayiti, the judiciary is an independent branch tasked with interpreting laws, resolving disputes, and protecting the Constitution and the LPN. It operates autonomously, separate from executive and legislative powers, and is grounded in legal competence, procedural integrity, and civic neutrality.

At the top is the National Grand Tribunal (GTN), composed of 10 judges—one per department. Citizens nominate candidates to the Senate, which forwards three names to the ADN for final selection. The GTN oversees the entire justice system, appoints judges to higher and lower courts, and manages the national prison system and detainee rights.

The GTN supervises two legal forces: Court Agents, who enforce rulings and may detain individuals temporarily; and Prison Guards, who ensure correctional security. It ensures all rulings align with the Constitution and LPN, and handles cases of national importance—constitutional interpretation, LPN violations, and sovereignty matters.

Judges may be removed only for proven corruption, criminal conviction, or serious misconduct—with dual approval from the Senate and ADN. This system replaces the colonial Napoleonic model with a Haitian, decentralized, and transparent structure. It’s justice made by Haitians, for Haitians.

This model is superior because it centers dignity, merit, and sovereignty. It removes political interference, enforces public oversight in appointments and removals, and ensures every department has a voice in justice. It’s not a system of control—it’s a system of protection.
