July 3, 2012

The Embassy of the United States of America congratulates the nine men and women who were sworn in today as members of the Superior Judicial Council (CSPJ), and we extend our best wishes for their success.

Today is a historic day for Haitian democracy and a victory for the Haitian people.  The investiture of the CSPJ establishes the judicial power as an equal branch of government.  The United States looks forward to working in partnership with the Haitian government in building the rule of law.

The United States remains committed to supporting the people and government of Haiti over the long-term, in building a country that is more stable, more prosperous, and more democratic.
