Moreover the AIDH emphasizes a justice that is too expensive and inaccessible for all, which does not make it a real public service.

Regarding governance, the report states that only 17 judgments of débet (attesting that the management of an accountant of public money is irregular) were issued by the Superior Court of Accounts and Administrative Disputes (CSC/CA) against some mayors and accountants of the State, while corruption is a scourge in Haiti...

Tenure insecurity, legal assistance, police violence and the condition of detention in prisons were addressed in the report.
