    “Haiti on the Brink: Assessing U.S. Policy Toward a Country in Crisis” Prepared Testimony Before the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Foreign Affairs, Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, Civilian Security, and Trade Daniel P. Erikson Managing Director, Blue Star Strategies Senior Fellow, Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement December 10, 2019 I begin my testimony by thanking Chairman Sires, Ranking Member Rooney, and the members of this distinguished committee for the opportunity to testify before you today about the current situation in Haiti – and to offer some ideas on what needs to be done to address the pressing challenges there. It is an honor for me to be here. I look forward to hearing from the committee and my fellow panelists and the subsequent discussion. The testimony that I provide you today is in my personal capacity. The views and opinions are my own, informed by my more than two decades of experience working on Latin American and Caribbean issues, including a longstanding engagement with Haiti that has included more than a dozen trips to the country, most recently in November 2019. However, among the other institutions with which I am affiliated, I would like to also acknowledge the Inter- American Dialogue think-tank, where I worked on Haiti for many years and whose leadership has encouraged my renewed inquiry on the political and economic situation in Haiti. My testimony today will focus on two areas: (1) a review of the current situation in Haiti; and (2) what a forward-leaning and constructive response by the United States and the broader international community should look like in 2020.

    Human Rights and Rule of Law in Haiti: Key Recent Developments November 2020 through May 2021 The seven month period following IJDH’s October 2020 Human Rights and Rule of Law in Haiti update1 has been marked by increasing authoritarian actions by the government that have furthered concerns for the rule of law,2 including an unconstitutional exercise to change the constitution through referendum.3 A remarkable number of people in Haiti, including civil society groups,4 have courageously demonstrated against the continuation of the democratic crisis and have demanded respect for the rule of law.5 Many of these widespread demonstrations have been suppressed by the police through violent means6 while catastrophic insecurity, primarily comprised of attacks against civilians by armed actors and kidnappings, continues.7 Threats to judicial independence8 and impunity for these and other human rights violations9 additionally contribute to a deteriorating economic situation that frustrates the enjoyment of peoples’ economic, social, and cultural rights.10 On January 5, 2021, the Administration used an executive decree to empower the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) – already viewed as unlawful by many – to schedule a constitutional referendum, expressly forbidden by Haiti’s constitution, along with legislative, presidential, local, and municipal elections.11 Haiti’s 1987 constitution sets out a mechanism for constitutional revision via legislature, stating clearly in Article 284.3 that “[g]eneral elections to amend the Constitution by referendum

  • Security Council Distr.: General 3 August 2021
    United Nations S/2021/660 Security Council Distr.: General 3 August 2021 Original: English Letter dated 12 July 2021 from the Permanent Representative of Saint Kitts and Nevis to the United Nations addressed to the President of the Security Council I have the honour to write to you once again in my capacity as Chair of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) caucus of Permanent Representatives to the United Nations for the months of July and August 2021. In the process, I refer to my letter of request dated 7 July to attend and speak at the 8815th (closed) meeting of the Security Council on Haiti, held on 8 July 2021. On behalf of the CARICOM caucus, I therefore express profound disappointment in the decision of the Presidency of the Security Council to exclude CARICOM from this meeting. For your guidance, Haiti is a treasured member of CARICOM and we are seized of the recent developments in our sister country at the highest level. Our voice is thus critical as a closely affected grouping and as such requests of this nature ought not to be denied. Regional and subregional groupings play an indispensable role in creating peace in their respective regions, as can be gleaned in Chapter 8 of the Charter of the United Nations. Furthermore, rule 37 of the provisional rules of procedure of the Security Council permits the participation of States Members of the United Nations whose interests are specifically affected. CARICOM also takes this opportunity to highlight its willingness to play a lead role in facilitating a process of national dialogue and negotiation to help the Haitian people and their institutions to craft an indigenous long-term solution to this crisis and ongoing challenges.

  • Written Testimony of Pierre Esperance Executive Director Haitian National Human Rights Defense Network (Réseau National De Défense Des Droits Humains, RNDDH)
    Written Testimony of Pierre Esperance Executive Director Haitian National Human Rights Defense Network (Réseau National de Défense des Droits Humains, RNDDH) Submitted to the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Civilian Security, and Trade House Foreign Affairs Committee Hearing on “Haiti on the Brink: Assessing U.S. Policy Toward a Country in Crisis” December 10, 2019 Interpretation conducted by Hyppolite Pierre Chairman Sires, Ranking Member Rooney, and other distinguished Members of the Subcommittee: Thank you for holding this important hearing on the ongoing situation in Haiti. My name is Pierre Esperance, the Executive Director of the Haitian National Human Rights Defense Network (RNDDH), a human rights education and monitoring organization devoted to ensuring the protection of rights and the upholding of rule of law in Haiti, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be here today. To begin, the general human rights situation in Haiti is characterized by a worrying security situation, the proliferation of armed gangs protected by the state – otherwise known as the gangsterization of the state, the dysfunction of the Haitian judiciary, impunity, corruption across all state institutions, the repression of anti-government demonstrations and the absence of any political will to find lasting solutions to the many problems facing the country. 1. On insecurity Haiti faces severe security challenges that affect all Haitians. One major cause of concern is the ongoing gangersterization of the state. Currently, from the capital to provincial cities, Haiti is full of armed gangs that enjoy the protection of the executive and legislative powers. They regularly receive money and automatic firearms, and they never run out of ammunition.

  • Echoes of Past Revolutions: Architecture, Memory, and Spectral Politics in the Historic Districts of Port-Au-Prince
    Dossier Caribbean Routes: Ethnographic Experiences, Theoretical Challenges, and the Production of Knowledge Echoes of Past Revolutions: Architecture, Memory, and Spectral Politics in the Historic Districts of Port-au-Prince Vincent Joos 1 1 Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics, Florida State University, USA. Abstract This article explores the life history of Ulrick Rosarion, a Haitian federal prosecutor who built his career during the Duvalier dictatorship. Rosarion lived his entire life in a small house of downtown Port-au-Prince, in a neighborhood formerly inhabited by the Black middle-classes that gained prominence in the political and administrative sphere during the dictatorship (1957-1986). Rosarion was also a writer who produced four books of nationalist poetry. Based on interviews and readings of his literary production, and beyond, through an exploration of architectural forms and material remnants echoing the dictatorship, this paper explores how an idealized version of the dictatorship today haunts the political landscape of Haiti. Moreover, this article argues that the state takes on a sensual form that allows for the diffusion and/or rupture of past ideologies. Key words: materiality; architecture; memory; sensory politics; ideology; Duvalierism, Haiti. e17510 Vibrant v.17 1 http://doi.org/10.1590/1809-43412020v17d510 Ecos de revoluções passadas: Arquitetura, memória e políticas espectrais nos bairros históricos de Porto-Príncipe Resumo Este artigo analisa a história de vida de Ulrick Rosarion, um juiz federal haitiano que construiu sua carreira durante a ditadura dos Duvalier. Rosarion viveu toda sua vida em uma pequena casa no centro da cidade de Porto-Príncipe, em um quarteirão que foi outrora a morada de membros de uma classe média que ganhou proeminência nas esferas administrativas e políticas da ditadura (1957-1986).

  • February 2, 2021 Honorable Antony Blinken Secretary of State of The
    February 2, 2021 Honorable Antony Blinken Secretary of State of the United States c/o Ms. Astride Dorelien Foreign Affairs Officer,Haiti Desk Subject: Urgent US Intervention Requested: Bloodshed in Haiti Dear Honorable Blinken: The National Haitian American Elected Officials Network (NHAEON) is an organization of Haitian-American elected officials that was founded in 2009 in Washington D.C. Our group has grown from less than twenty (20) members to a membership of 150 which spans several states. Our ranks include elected officials from local school districts, State Attorneys General, and state Supreme Court Justices. Our growth and diversity of posts that we occupy reflect the intensity of our civic engagement. As American elected officials, we are engaged in the service of our American constituents and of this nation. Additionally, as Haitian-Americans, our families are impacted in a variety of ways by what happens in Haiti. We certainly applaud and appreciate the expressed sensitivity of the Biden-Harris Administration and several American elected officials who support the well- being of the Haitian Diaspora, people of Haiti, and the protection of democratic stability in Haiti. With a sense of urgency, we are engaging your assistance in negotiating a peaceful resolution to a heightening conflict in Haiti before it reaches a dangerous climax. It is imperative that we impress upon you the seriousness of the current events in Haiti. Currently, there is a scorched-earth campaign that has already been unleashed in Haiti and in the Diaspora to force President Moise to leave office on February 7, 2021. Colliding with this campaign is the sworn position of President Moise and his administration to remain in office until February 7, 2022.
