STATEMENT BY THE CONFERENCE OF HEADS OF GOVERNMENT OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) ON THE END OF THE TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENTIAL COUNCIL IN HAITI

Date:

The CARICOM Heads of Government note that the Transitional Presidential Council of Haiti has stepped down at the end of its two-year tenure, and that Prime Minister Didier Fils Aimé and the Council of Ministers have assumed responsibility for the governance of Haiti. It is expected that this would be a short interim period focused on improving the security environment, intensifying preparations for the holding of national elections, and promoting social and economic recovery.

CARICOM recognises the urgent need for a stable political process but reiterates that a Haitian-led and Haitian-owned approach remains fundamental. This necessarily requires overcoming divisions and structured inclusion of the views and aspirations of all Haitian citizens through consultation and dialogue with their representatives and civil society.

CARICOM recognises that progress on improving the security environment is urgent, and calls on regional and international partners to alleviate the humanitarian hardships endured by millions of Haitians that need to be addressed with equal urgency. In this regard, CARICOM supports the priorities identified by Prime Minister Fils Aimé that affirm the need for security and dignity to progress together, and his proposed immediate plan for urgent provision of food, health care and shelter to the most vulnerable.

CARICOM will continue to support the people of Haiti, including through ongoing engagement with all stakeholders by the Eminent Persons Group, and to embrace Haiti as a member state of the Community.

The CARICOM Heads of Government look forward to early engagement with Prime Minister Fils Aimé during the 50th Regular Meeting of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community, 24-27 February in St Kitts and Nevis.

Haïti: vague d’indignation et appels à l’action au Conseil de sécurité après le massacre de Kenscoff, « nouvelle atrocité effroyable »

Cette dernière attaque survient à un moment critique de la transition politique en Haïti, a relevé le Représentant spécial.  De son avis, « sans une amélioration des conditions de sécurité, les efforts visant à renforcer la gouvernance, à accélérer le processus politique et à faire avancer les préparatifs électoraux resteront fortement limités et vulnérables aux revers ».

Haiti: Urgent Briefing

This afternoon (28 August), the Security Council will hold a briefing on Haiti. The urgent meeting was requested by Panama and the US (the penholders on Haiti), together with Colombia, after an overnight gang attack between 23 and 24 August in the commune of Kenscoff killed dozens of people. Special Representative and Head of the UN Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) Carlos Ruiz Massieu and Acting Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Indrika Ratwatte are the anticipated briefers. Haiti and Brazil are expected to participate in the meeting under rule 37 of the Council’s provisional rules of procedure.

Haïti : plus de 400 000 électeurs déjà inscrits, le processus électoral accélère à moins de quatre mois du scrutin

Le franchissement du seuil des 400 000 inscrits constitue ainsi un indicateur important, mais il ne permet pas encore, à lui seul, de mesurer le degré de préparation du scrutin. La question sera désormais celle de la fiabilité et de la transparence du registre électoral : combien de citoyens seront finalement inscrits, combien d'inscriptions seront validées après vérification, quelle sera la couverture territoriale du registre et dans quelle mesure les électeurs pourront-ils effectivement accéder aux bureaux de vote le jour du scrutin ?
