Civic Engagement
Building Trust Between the Haitian People and Their Government
Citizenship is not just about rights, but also about fulfilling
your civic duties towards the government and the country.
These obligations are the backbone of a responsible citizen:
- Paying taxes is a civic duty that supports public services, while serving on a jury ensures fair and just outcomes. In times of war, defending our country becomes an obligation we must fulfill.
- Continuous self-improvement and education contribute to personal growth and betterment of society as a whole. Respecting and protecting the environment safeguards our planet for future generations.
- Respecting state revenues and properties, as well as others’ property, upholds principles of fairness and integrity.
- Working towards maintaining peace fosters stability in our communities.
- Providing assistance to those in danger showcases compassion and solidarity. Respecting the rights and freedom of others creates an inclusive society where everyone can thrive. Failure to fulfill these obligations may result in legal consequences.
- Respect for the Constitution and national emblem is paramount, as is adherence to the laws that govern our society.
- Voting in elections without constraint ensures active participation in shaping our nation’s future. Additionally, compulsory civic service for both sexes ensures equal participation in building a strong nation.
Remember, being a citizen goes beyond enjoying rights; it entails embracing these duties with utmost sincerity and dedication.
