Independent citizens' movementHere's how you know

A citizens' website, not a government website
Blòk pa Blòk is a citizens' movement of ideas and projects for Haiti. This is not an official website of the Haitian State.

Official texts prevail
The Social Contract is a guiding pact. The laws and decrees in force are those published in Le Moniteur, Haiti's official gazette.
