Résumé
Résumé :

This article argues for a rights-based approach to assistance in Haiti which is a form of developmental aid that strengthens the public justice systems in the developing world. As traditional legal assistance to marginalized communities tends to be top-down and exclusionary, much like the traditional distribution of humanitarian aid, human rights lawyers in Haiti seek to apply the rights-based approach to their lawyering – providing “legal empowerment” as an alternative to “legal aid”.
