THE PRESIDENT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY 22 September 2020 Excellency, Sequel to the letter dated 26 August, I am pleased to share the list of speakers for the high-level meeting on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women to be held on Thursday, 1 October 2020, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. This reflects the latest status of registration and level of participating Member States for the high-level meeting. In accordance with decision 74/562, the President of the General Assembly is to finalize the other organizational arrangements for the high-level meeting. Introductory remarks by the representative who is physically present will be optional. Given the large number of speakers inscribed, it will be presumed that delegations will not be introducing their respective pre-recorded statements; rather the presiding officer will introduce the pre-recorded statements. Delegations are urged to keep to stipulated time limits (three minutes for individual statements and five minutes for group statements) to provide maximum opportunity to exhaust the speakers’ list. Any delegation that intends to introduce its pre-recorded statement should communicate this in writing to Mr. Martin Vrastiak ([email protected]) by 25 September 2020. In order to limit the footprint and number of people in the United Nations Headquarters complex, physical access and presence in the General Assembly Hall will be limited to one representative per Member State and observer State and for the European Union. The final risk assessment and mitigation measures will be communicated shortly. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

    Haiti: Fact Sheet

    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 07/09/2021 11:33:58 AM HAITI: FACT SHEET 2016 Election • President MoYse received 32.8% of votes in the first round of the 2015 elections held on October 25, 2015, qualifying for a runoff with the second-place finisher, Jude Celestin. • Jude Celestin subsequently raised, without evidence, allegations that the votes for President MoYse in the October poll were fraudulent. Violence was instigated by his supporters and in turn caused the cancellation of the second round. o These claims emerged despite the Organization of American States, who had "125 observers from 27 countries present from the opening of the polls up to the counting of the votes in all 10 departments of the country, visiting 487 voting centers", officially declaring that "in spite of some isolated instances, Haitian citizens with the will to vote were able to cast their ballots." o "Schools that serve as election centres and voting stations in various towns have been attacked and set on fire in recent days, and election materials in a border town were hijacked by gunmen" Haiti cancels presidential election as violence erupts. Associated Press, Jan 23, 2016 • Following the cancellation of the 2015 elections due to the violence, the former head of Haiti's Senate and National Assembly, Jocelerme Privert, was elected interim president by Parliament following a vote that took nearly 12 hours on February 14, 2016. • Fresh elections were re-run on November 20, 2016 and overseen by the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP). President MoYse won 55.6% of the popular vote and was inaugurated on February 7, 2017.
