Monday Jean Roudy Aly, the Minister of Justice, firmly resolved to engage the battle against prolonged preventive detention, land insecurity and human trafficking brought together at the Ministry, the commissioners of the Government close to the Courts of First Instance, the Central Director of the Judicial Police and the departmental directors of the National Police.

Addressing the scourge of prolonged pretrial detention, Minister Aly highlighted the severe dysfunction of the judicial system as the main cause of this problem. Several participants raised several causes generating and / or aggravating this scourge: the absence of files for the prisoners, abuses, irresponsibility or dishonesty of certain actors of the system (police or justice), administrative lightness etc. Aly asked the commissioners of the government, to assume their responsibilities and to take the measures of right (increase of the hearings, reconstitution of the files, administrative recovery, holding of assizes criminal ...) to unclog the detention centers "Act quickly, but act well with public safety and peace," he insisted, recalling that the Ministry will ensure the availability of legal aid in all jurisdictions.

In addition, the Minister indicated that from now on the Public Prosecutors will have to send the Ministry, by e-mail, the judicial information sheet, which will provide information on the nature and number of cases handled and on the prison situation.

On land insecurity, Minister Aly highlighted the direct and negative consequences for the state's efforts to open the territory to foreign private investment and to those in the diaspora. He urged the concerned actors not to be complicit in the spoliations, saying that the Ministry intends to open the eye to this issue and reminding the government commissioners that they are the protectors of the peasant. The minister's instructions are formal in this regard: zero tolerance vis-à-vis the spoliators and grabbers of property of others; attention to surveyors, notaries, bailiffs, government commissioners and anyone in the justice system who is involved in land insecurity.

With regard human trafficking, a transnational crime, the Minister has called for the utmost vigilance of the police authorities and the government commissioners of the jurisdictions of the border areas in particular. He believes that this issue requires the coordinated intervention of several other state institutions such as: the Institute of Social Welfare and Research (IBESR) and the National Office of Migration (ONM). Minister Aly called on justice / security actors "to crack down on the rigors of the law against the perpetrators of this despicable crime".

Minister Jean Roudy Aly intends, within a short time, to discuss these 3 scourges with the Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ), a question of setting the tone in this quest for harmony for a healthy distribution of justice.

Synergie was the final motto for this work session that lasted nearly four hours.
