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 : élections, sécurité, sanctions et Global Gateway: Hélène Roos répond à 15 questions sur l’action de l’Équipe Europe

"De notre côté, comme partenaire, nous prenons nos responsabilités : l’Union européenne dispose d’un régime de mesures restrictives à l’encontre de personnes et d’entités considérées comme responsables d’actions menaçant la paix, la stabilité, ou la sécurité d’Haïti, ou portant atteinte à la démocratie et à l’État de droit. Ce régime n’est pas un instrument électoral et les sanctions européennes ne constituent pas, en elles-mêmes, des critères d’éligibilité au regard du droit haïtien. Elles consistent en revanche en une liste de personnes qui sont interdites d’entrée sur le territoire de l’Union européenne, soit dans ses 27 États membres, ainsi qu’en la possibilité degels d’avoirs. "...

Martelly puts elections rumors to rest, registers to run for Haiti presidency

Former Haitian President Michel Martelly has registered to run for the presidency of the Caribbean nation, joining a growing list of candidates hoping to lead a troubled Haiti despite facing sanctions from the United States, Canada and the European Union — or in the case of the former singer, all three. Martelly’s name was among 16 listed Friday on the Provisional Electoral Council’s website as having preliminary registered to run. The list also includes another former president, Jocelerme Privert, and a former member of the lower house of Parliament, Gary Bodeau. Privert who oversaw the country’s last general elections in 2016, has been sanctioned by Canada. Bodeau has been sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department under a federal act that targets perpetrators of serious human rights abuse and corruption, and faces Canadian sanctions as well.

Exclusive: Inside Erik Prince’s secretive operation taking on Haiti’s gangs (CNN)

Prince would not disclose the annual fee he receives for work with the Task Force, claiming only that it is a “fraction” of the cost of the short-lived Multinational Security Support mission — an initiative backed financially and logistically by the United States, that once envisaged 5,500 foreign police in Port-au-Prince. “Our cost is one-sixth of what their annual camp cost was,” Prince said. The sum is likely in the tens of millions of dollars. His income will be augmented by a deal to help control Haiti’s porous border with the Dominican Republic for the next 10 years in return for 10% of any new customs revenue collected. The long-term contract has raised criticism locally of how Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé is using his mandate as interim leader.
