... the spirit of eternal rocks

Pin loyalty "The Citadel Henry Haiti Heritage" were pinned inside by the side support in a gesture to honor the spirit of eternal rocks.

The Institute for the Protection of National Heritage, independent technical body, is born by government decree of March 28, 1979 the upgrading of the historic preservation, government agency founded in 1972 by Albert Mangonès. Daniel Elias, Director of ISPAN, stressed the importance of the mission of the Institute for Scientific and Technical. It is an inventory and ranking of evidence in the national heritage, general studies and detailed project of restoration and enhancement of monuments and historical sites, provide leadership and supervision of work performance, help promotion and development of public or private business to safeguard the national heritage and disseminate all information and documentation relating to the architectural heritage and monuments, national and international.

Albert Mangonès in its ideological vision of heritage conservation has advocated the strengthening of national identity by establishing the historical and cultural values conveyed by our monuments, developing education and knowledge essential to the establishment of a sense of belonging. The social and economic values provided by the approach are the logical result of an intelligent and rational exploitation of this heritage. For Albert Mangonès, beyond the aesthetic, cultural, technical and economic, conservation of architectural heritage "must find his true purpose in seeking solutions to human problems raised by the sudden changes of living environment." He was "aware of an organized community has the right to exist in decent conditions, which must grow and why heritage should remain a key factor of social cohesion".

The history of ISPAN is linked to the Citadel National Historic Park Sanssouci Ramiers, classified World Heritage by UNESCO since 1982. The institute has taken up the work begun by the Department of Conservation of Monuments, which consisted with the retirement of water, protection and stabilization of these historic buildings, with technical assistance from UNESCO and a UNDP funding and treasury. In undertaking this work, the ISPAN has used a multidisciplinary team of architects, engineers, but also sociologists, archaeologists, chemists, specialists in conservation of stone and metal, historians , photographers, specialists in regional planning, master carpenters, master builders and others. This adventure has been crowned with success in putting Henry Citadel and Palace of Sans-Souci out of danger and saved from destruction is irreversible.

The ISPAN has continued the first scientific and objective inventory of historical monuments of Haiti. Albert Mangonès has, in its generosity, enabling young people to grow in this business, coach, encourage them, its their lavish sound advice based on his long experience. The writings of historians such Madiou, Ardouin, Cabon, Debien, Pean, George Corvington, and the chronic period of Logbook of Christopher Columbus to chronic Edgard LaSelva, texts Labat, Moreau de Saint-Mery , Descourtilz were consulted to guide the search for ruins and ancient buildings.

The research archives were made by the team of the inventory. The identification and documentation of the defense system of the French colony of Saint Domingue, the network of fortifications erected in Haiti in the aftermath of 1804, the network of colonial sugar houses, historic centers of Cap-Haitien, Jacmel and Port - au-Prince, the site of the first voyage of Columbus on the north coast of Haiti was established.

Haiti rcihesse discovers his heritage
Haitian society now finds wealth, the vastness, the diversity of its cultural heritage. The prospects for tourism development become clearer. Youth is open questioning of its cultural identity. Our natural environment undergoes continuous degradation and alarming. Knowledge of our past should serve as a compass and leverage to build this sense of belonging to the land of our ancestors. The ISPAN is devoid of resources, financial resources reduced drastically since the Haitian state is forced to deal with other priorities. While remaining under its organic law, the institute has been forced to diversify its sources of funding. He had to call for international assistance to nongovernmental organizations and the private sector.

This approach has begun to bear fruit. The gala La Citadelle Henry is an outstanding example of collaboration between ISPAN and its generous patrons. Michèle Duvivier Pierre-Louis has encouraged and supported the draft publication of the ledger La Citadelle Henry.

The World Heritage Center, UNESCO agency responsible for management of properties inscribed on the World Heritage List, is currently updating the files and start the retrospective inventory of properties. The ISPAN will under this program, in agreement with the World Heritage Center, take the boundary of the National Historical Park covering 25 square kilometers, and its zoning regulations. It will assign a legal status, the build, within the World Heritage Convention ratified by the Republic of Haiti in 1980, a management structure and operation.

The ISPAN will speak on the historical monuments in order to complete the restoration work and complete the second phase of the project to organize and facilitate their visit. The development of the Museum of Citadel Henry will be a priority objective of the ISPAN, with the collaboration of the Musée du Pantheon National Haitien. This museum will showcase the finest collection of guns made in the ledger of Henry Citadel.

John Mac Aslan, representative of Aslan Mac Foundation, will support the study of museum Citadel Henry. He conveyed to the people of Haiti at the gala, the greetings and wishes of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, a mentor to the preservation of monuments in England, whose foundation also works with Mac Foundation Aslan.

The Minister of Culture and Communication, Marie-Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue, welcomed a very special presence in the room of family members of Albert Mangone and his friends. In recognition of a man who has traced a path through buildings, institutions and works that have enriched our humanity and our sense of memory, a certificate of decoration was awarded to Messrs Frederick and George Mangonès with these words:

Albert Mangonès, Grand Officier posthumously National Order of Honor and Merit

"On behalf of the Haitian government, on behalf of the Ministry of Culture and Communication, it is with humility, respect, we do the architect Albert Mangonès Grand Officer posthumously National Order of Honor and Merit, in recognition of its commitment to safeguarding the architectural heritage of Haiti.

He appreciates the way of civil society through actions of general interest to claim that the nation is us, that this heritage is ours, all of us.

The presentation of plaques to the guards of the Citadel, seven men who for over thirty years providing its maintenance and cleaning, has been applauded by the audience standing. One of their job is dangerous, it is to remain suspended, attached to a vein, 45 feet high, clinging to a ladder, to uproot the trees rooted among the old stones, seeds brought by wind.

The screening of the documentary "The Citadel Henry", written and narrated by Monique Rocourt, raised in me the pride of being part of this nation legatee of energy so powerful. This is an example of a man in all the greatness it can achieve on this earth and beyond. Walls challenge. They question us. Why can not we walk in the footsteps of men of brass?

1804 and 2009, two different circumstances, but so similar, through their affinity combinatorial hi, opportunities and possible collapse. A nation that has no other choice but to rise above impossible.

Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive returned satisfied in Port-au-Prince on Friday.

Back from Canada where he made an official visit of six days, Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive returned satisfied in Port-au-Prince on Friday.

"It is a journey that I regard as essentially positive, said Friday Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive after a visit of six days in Canada. We have established strong links with partners with whom we used to work, "he said during an interview with the press lounge Diplomatic Toussaint Louverture Airport, minutes after the descent of plane.

Mr. Bellerive who made this visit primarily as Minister of Planning and External Cooperation was pleased to have met many political figures including Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Mayor of Montreal Gérald Tremblay and the Governor of Canada Michaëlle Jean Haitian origin.

In New York, where she stopped, Prime Minister held discussions with various foreign dignitaries who want to invest in Haiti. "We talked to investors and we've channeled," he said. Speaking to an audience of fellow about 24 hours before his return, Jean-Max Bellerive had estimated that "Haiti has no fundamental problems other than the Haitians themselves.

In turn, the federal government is ready to release for Haiti an additional 15 million dollars over two years. According to Jean-Max Bellerive, these funds will be used primarily in the context of improving prison conditions and security in border areas.

Asked about the issue of banditry recorded these days in the capital, Mr. Bellerive said that the CSPN (Supreme Council of National Police) will meet tomorrow on Saturday to ask and analyze the problem of insecurity. "Too much effort has been increased to attract investors in the country that can do the bandits," he said in a firm tone.

Mr. Bellerive was accompanied by his Foreign Minister, Marie-Michele Rey, and Secretary of State for Public Security Luc Eucher Joseph. But, according to the Prime Minister, Mr. Joseph has made the trip only as a representative of the Department of Justice.

Haiti The problem of establishing the Higher Council of Judiciary (CSPJ)

The problem of establishing the Higher Council of Judiciary (CSPJ) and its involvement in the Haitian judicial system has been central to discussions at the Fourth Congress of the National Association of Haitian Magistrates (ANAMAH) held on 17 and December 18, 2009 at Hotel Le Plaza. This was also the occasion to renew the new office at the head of the association.


Discussions during the two days of the fourth congress of the National Association of Haitian Magistrates (ANAMAH) took place on the need to install the Superior Council of Judiciary (CSPJ) created by a law published in the Official Journal of the Republic, The Monitor, December 27, 2007. Different panelists who spoke on the issue have recognized that the creation of CSPJ is "absolutely necessary" for the course of justice in Haiti. They said the lack of political will of the Executive to appoint the President of the Court of Cassation is the main obstacle to establishing the highest court in the country.

"The political implications are too heavy so the executive does everything possible to prevent the creation of CSPJ," fumed Mr. Léon Saint-Louis. This, he says, explains why many previous attempts have failed.

All the panelists who spoke during the two days are in the refusal of the Executive to appoint the President of the Court of Cassation an obstacle to the process of establishing CSPJ.

"The Executive has, inter alia, the constitutional responsibility to enforce the laws of the Republic has chosen not to enforce a law under the Constitution which requires the amendment, however, said the barrister of the Bar, Mr. Gervais Charles, adding that the law establishing the highest court in the country has yet been adopted since 2007. The installation of CSPJ for which judges are fighting not only in the interest of the judiciary, says Mr. Charles, this concerns the whole community.
On "The Judiciary in the future movement of the creation of CSPJ" This Fourth Congress, says past president of the ANAMAH, Me Durin Duret Jr, reflects the determination of the judiciary to consider reports that must exist between this and the CSPJ association is an institution of organization, control, discipline and deliberation and whose mission is to ensure the careers of judges and punish when necessary.

The judiciary, a power dependent

The judges of courts of different countries who took part in the congress denounced the stranglehold of the executive over the judiciary and the fact that the Minister of Justice, in their opinion, behaves as the head of the judiciary. "If justice is under the Ministry of Justice for its operation, this dependency is spreading also in terms of judges, at times, are influenced by the government in making their decision," denounced Me St. Louis. He said only the creation of CSPJ can free the judiciary from the clutches of the Executive. "The creation of CSPJ, institution that will break with the past practices of the executive, is" an absolute necessity, "he said.

Mr. Vandal, meanwhile, argued the same meaning to say that the creation of this institution is an "appropriate response to the need for independence of the judiciary, also denouncing the interference of the Executive and the Legislature in exclusive affairs of the judiciary. However, Mr. Patrick Pierre-Louis noted that the CSPJ is a tool, a means but not an end in regard to independence per se of the judiciary.

For her part, Ms. Danielle Saada, head of the Justice Section of MINUSTAH, said that the complexity of the task of judges and lack of resources are the main obstacles in performing their work. She took the opportunity to reiterate the need to strengthen the judicial system to make it more effective.

Ultimatum to the Executive ...

After this congress, a resolution issuing ultimatum to the Executive for the implementation of the law establishing the CSPJ was adopted by a majority of judges present. However, the text still needs to be revamped will be sent shortly to the Executive which say they hope a wise decision. They also threatened to cease all activities across all jurisdictions in the country to force the executive to "take its responsibilities towards the nation."

Haiti: Candidates betrayed by their past

Several candidates in the upcoming legislative, mostly survivors of the Lavalas regime, attract lightning organizations defending human rights. Murders, rape, armed robbery, destruction of private property under Lavalas are the main accusations against the candidate indexed.
Nahoun Marcellus, Jocelerme Privert, Elie Andre Carlito, Biron Odigi and Dr. Sinal Sergot are some candidates in the upcoming legislative indexed by human rights organizations for their involvement in any way in cases of murder, rape , theft ... Some of these candidates have questionable past complaints formally filed against them in court. This is the case of former Lavalas officials who dream of joining their fellow Moses Jean-Charles to Parliament.

Former Interior Minister under the second presidency of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Jocelerme Privert, looking to land the only Senate seat available for the Department of Nippes the next election. After the rejection of his nomination during the recent Senate, he returned to the stage under the banner of platform presidential INITE. Pending publication of the list of candidates approved by the Provisional Electoral Council, his candidacy is considered a blow to the country by organizations defending human rights, including the National Network of Human rights (RNDDH).

"Charged in the killing of The Sawmill, Jocelerme Privert is within the scope of an order of the judge of the St. Mark-by reviewing the criminal court jury without assistance," noted the agency's rights humans in a recent report published in the partial Senate this year. Meanwhile, former Lavalas dignitary, according to a certificate of registry dated 1 December 2009, is being prosecuted in the Cabinet's instruction Palais de Justice in Port-au-Prince to the facts of skilled and looting of conspiracy to the detriment of the private television station Tele-Haiti.
For its part, Nahoun Marcellus, MP of the 47th Legislature, is running for Senate for the Northern Department under the banner of the platform INITE. In 2003, his U.S. visa had been revoked for his alleged involvement in drug trafficking. Former Lavalas dignitary is also the subject of a lawsuit brought against him by Radio Vision 2000 for his role in looting and vandalism perpetrated against the premises of the station in Cap-Haitien the night of 7 to 8 February 2004. The public threats had been leveled by former member against the station. The Senate candidate for the platform INITE for the Northern Department was also accused of involvement in the attempted assassination of journalist Peter Elicème occurred February 21, 2004 at Trou du Nord.

Biron Odigi, also charged in the massacre of the sawmill, is parliamentary candidate for the riding of Saint-Marc under the banner of the insider, compared by some to TITANIC. Coordinator at St. Mark's Lavalas party under Lavalas, he was also a leader of popular organization Bale Wouze infamous. The massacre of The Sawmill attack in February 2004 is attributed to that organization.

Dr. Sinal Sergot, parliamentary candidate for the riding of Port-Hi, is housed in the same boat as the former Lavalas officials. It is, in turn accused of raping a minor in 2008. A letter and a copy was sent to the newspaper is sent to the Electoral Advisor Ginette Cherubin by relatives of the victim to withdraw the candidature of the doctor. "My minor daughter was raped by Dr. Serge Sinai, chief physician in Port-Hi, in March 2008," reads the letter signed Yolene Pointe-Day. It said he had taken steps in the Ministry for Women, the Ministry of Justice and with organizations of human rights that the rape did not go unpunished. The fact that the doctor accused of rape is regarded as the son of Justice Minister, Paul Denis, remains a source of concern for relatives of the minor. In addition, both men are members of the same political party.

These candidates INITE indexed by the organizations of human rights could be the tree that hides the forest. But the list of candidates has not yet been made public by the Provisional Electoral Council. This does not allow organizations of human rights to be an exhaustive list of past black candidates.

Haiti: Our countrymen are elected according

First Haitian American elected mayor of Spring Valley, a suburb of New York, Noram F. Jasmine and her team of four deputy mayors, three compatriots took the reins of the City of Spring Valley. A team that promised much to the different ethnic groups in this village about 40 000 people.
The first woman elected mayor of Spring Valley came into office Monday. In an atmosphere of brotherhood, members of the Haitian community in this village have invested Monday Ramapo Cultural Art Center to celebrate the accession of Noram F. Jasmin, their first fellow elected to this position throughout the State of New York. Ms. Jasmin shares the responsibilities of the District Municipality of Ramapo with three other Americans whose Haïtiano Joseph Anthony Desmaret elected at the same time as last November 3.

After the ceremony of swearing in the morning of Monday, December 7, a feast was held in the evening to celebrate the event. Protests led by Haitian artist Faustin Beaurevers have highlighted several talented operating in this village in the northwestern state of New York. Jeannette Bayardelle, Ghislaine Pierre, Hyppolite Sullyte Elie ... are, among others, Haitian voice that charmed the audience.

The problems of housing, social security and juvenile delinquency are the main concerns of Ms. Jasmin and her team hope that the cooperation of the community of Spring Valley. "Being aware of the heavy responsibilities that lie ahead, my team and I are committed to bring a substantial improvement in quality of life of our village," promised the mayor.

Noram Jasmin and his assistant Anthony Desmaret direct, Demez Delhomme, Anthony Leo, the two other Haitian American, and Joseph Gross, a Jew, must work together to administer the village of 6.5 square kilometers. Mother of two boys, the new mayor to tackle already meet the very high level of safety of this community.

Mr. Desmarais, meanwhile, believes his experience and his intellectual capacity will allow it to be "the vanguard for the proper functioning of the mayor." He promised to work tirelessly to change the status quo. "Your trust placed in me will be effectively served," says that elected that now Americans will call "Deputy Mayor".

Ms. Jasmin was the direct assistant of George Darden for four years, while Joseph Desmarais has lost his post as deputy mayor in 2007 in favor of Demez Delhomme and Anthony Leon for Mayor of Spring Valley. Following the November elections, the three former competitors fall into this same administration for the benefit of the 42 ethnic groups that make up the population of Sping Valley.

The Convention for cultural diversity and the empowerment of minority cultures * (continued)

Consider an example. Today considered a non-advanced countries in the periphery of the global village, the company has entered Haiti from the beginning of its history, a cultural trajectory, the result of global economic relations since the days of slavery to that of neoliberalism. This gives both its common features with other companies in the continent and its profound originality (Pierre-Charles cit. Houtard in Remy and, id. 13). The cultural configuration of Haiti stems from the encounter of several currents of Amerindian civilizations, African, European, who competed in the New World during the slave stage of the global capitalist economy. Indeed, culture and Haitian society, from their period of gestation, were marked by globalization, the result of the hegemonic thrust of Europe from the late fifteenth century ... (ibid. 19). But "is still working through the Haitian intellectual production, such as through social and political practices, a system of thought organized around the old couple barbarian / civilized while all the elite of Haiti, from the earliest moments of the independence, is eager to provide proof of non-barbarism of the Haitian people, and somehow continue to desperately search for a cure of the barbarism that the master colon imputed ... " (Hurbon 1987:14-15). The Creole language created by the majority slave from Africa to colonial Haiti, and Haiti's diverse cultural expressions (such as the rara, the lodyans, etc..) Are perceived as unable to be broadcast in national and international media in favor of foreign cultural expressions unrelated to the Haitian cultural identity. When it uses it for use point of view of folk, that is to say unrelated to their materiality historical, economic and political.

Thus, instead of asserting their identity and culture in globalization, elites producing cultural works in developing countries coincide with the Haitian elite, by adopting the same attitude. They seek rather to respect the canons and criteria prevailing in world trade, excluding contempt or even elements of cultural identity and traditional minority groups, they often regard as "unworthy" of globalization standards. Often, they become very hostile to any kind of cultural resistance on the part of holders of minority cultures.

Respect of human communication as a spearhead

Taking again the example of Haiti, the Belgian sociologist Francois Houtart and Haitian anthropologist Anselme Remy recall that during the eighteenth century cultural identity was an element of resistance to the imposition of dramatically unequal social relations. Indeed, as shown by these authors, local so-called minority cultures contain within themselves the potential of their emancipation. The Convention on Cultural Diversity merely offer a universal legal framework favorable. So the big clash between culture and globalized world of representations and values socially constructed according to the collective experiences of peoples is not a foregone conclusion. Those who proclaim the advent of a single global civilization, driven by market values and serving the summit of human history are likely to see their predictions turn into illusions ... The globalization of culture is under the hegemony of the market and local culture are the basis for many forms of resistance ... (Houtard and Remy: 173). Hence the invitation to civil society organizations, national and international creativity and aggressiveness to win the battle for cultural diversity for social groups, peoples and minority cultures. Battle with the promotion of human communication for the democratization of communication is the spearhead. For, according Wolton, culture and communication are the real challenges of the twenty-first century, the globalization of communication raises once and for all the question of otherness and being a political issue, it should be treated politically. Indeed, "communication and politics, the issue is the same: to organize the coexistence ... In summary, initially, we must admit the importance of cultural identity. In a second time, we must recognize that cultural diversity is unsurpassable. In a third step is to organize cultural coexistence which is the complement of political democracy "(Wolton: 96). * Published in the journal Media Development, February 2006 http://www.waccglobal.org/fr/20061-celebrating-cultural-diversity/566-La-Convention-pour-la-diversité-culturelle-et-l 'emancipation-of-cultures-minoritaires.html.

A giant step in the right direction

In any democracy, sealing a political alliance in view of the conquest and exercise of power is a laudable initiative, as it opens promising new prospects for significant changes to the country. Given the growing concern that exists about the future of the democratic process, I personally welcome the leaders and members of the OPL, those of the Fusion of Haitian Social Democrats and the Democratic Convention unit who understood that the time has finally arrived to leave the past behind and look to the future.
By agreeing to put aside all their old battles clan to offer the nation a patriotic alternative to the progress and democracy, the parties constituting the new political structure has performed an act fraught with meaning: despite the disappointment, discouragement and great despair that Unity Lespwa has aroused among different components of Haitian society, there are still reasons for hope.

Bravo! It is a giant step just taken.

A major step that will, we believe, significantly contribute to the stabilization and economic development. If the activists of these parties have participated actively and constructively to the creation of this platform because they have realized that to save the country from the disaster, a broad alliance was necessary, even unavoidable. However, admittedly, if this alternative was more than necessary, we must admit that it is not enough to save the country. In this sense, I think it is necessary and even beneficial to leave the door open for other political parties who consider the current policy, as practiced at the National Palace, will lead the country anyway disaster. We believe that in this particularly difficult, it is necessary to find common solutions to the problems of Haiti. In coming together, combining credible parties, men and women authentic, we manage to develop potential solutions that will lead to a political future for our youth and society as a whole. Form a coherent whole to restore confidence, consolidate democratic gains, strengthening the institutions of the Republic, Haiti commit towards a modern and sustainable economic development, rebuild the infrastructure of the country, tackling serious environmental problems related to environmental degradation, etc.., what are the challenges of the day. So, remain open and be united. Together we will.
