Supreme Court

Scheduled to be completed by 2015, the ground for the $16 million dollar Supreme Court building, funded by the government of the Republic of China, was broken recently by the presidents of both countries. Speaking at the occasion was the Republic's President, Ma Ying-jeou, who said he was heartened by the move to use the donation for this project as it spoke to Haiti's serious consideration for the 'rule of law'. The original courthouse was destroyed by the 2010 earthquake.

What you are looking at is the new Haiti Supreme Court. This is only the plan and it has not been built yet

The cost of construction of the new Supreme Court that was destroyed following the 2010 earthquake is estimated at $ 10 million. The funding for the building will be coming from IMF debt relief. Work on the new building is expected to start in March 2013 and end on March 2014.
