04 Internal Country Briefing DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES OF THE UNION POLICY DEPARTMENT Haiti COUNTRY BRIEFING 2012 Abstract On 12 January 2010, an earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale struck Haiti for 35 seconds. Today, two years after the earthquake, Haiti is still struggling to overcome the impact of the disaster, which claimed the lives of more than 220 000 people and displaced a fifth of the country's total population of 9.9 million. The international response has been commensurate with the scale of the disaster: a United Nations Donor's Conference held on 31 March 2010 drew pledges of USD 10 billion. But reconstruction has been painfully slow and more than 550 000 people still live in overcrowded camps scattered across Port au Prince. By December 2011, the cholera outbreak that was declared in October 2010 had killed more than 7 000 people, making it one of the world largest epidemics recorded in the region in over a century. After a contested election process, Michel Martelly was elected president of the country in March 2011. Following five months of political crisis between the newly elected president and the National Assembly, Gary Conille was finally appointed Prime Minister on 18 October 2011. It is widely hoped that his appointment will accelerate the reconstruction process. FOR EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT INTERNAL USE ONLY!

Jean Bertrand Aristide was Haiti's first democratically elected president after the Duvaliers' regime, which lasted from 1950 to 1971 (Duvalier father) and from 1971 to the uprising in 1986 (Duvalier son). After a succession of military coups, the first democratic elections under international observation were organised in December 1990. Jean Bertrand Aristide was briefly in power before being ousted of power by a military coup in September 1991. Following a US military intervention in September 1994, Jean Bertrand Aristide was reinstated as president. New presidential elections organised in 1996 led to the victory of René Préval before the re-election of Aristide in February 2001. As the country entered a new period of chaos, President Aristide resigned and fled the country in February 2004 after being accused of corruption and drug trafficking. Following several years of instability, René Préval was elected president for a second mandate in February 2006. When the earthquake hit the country in January 2010, decades of poverty, environmental degradation, lack of public investment, violence and political instability had already made Haiti the poorest country in the Western hemisphere.

  • The Election Impasse in Haiti
    At a glance April 2016 The election impasse in Haiti The run-off in the 2015 presidential elections in Haiti has been suspended repeatedly, after the opposition contested the first round in October 2015. Just before the end of President Martelly´s mandate on 7 February 2016, an agreement was reached to appoint an interim President and a new Provisional Electoral Council, fixing new elections for 24 April 2016. Although most of the agreement has been respected , the second round was in the end not held on the scheduled date. Background After nearly two centuries of mainly authoritarian rule which culminated in the Duvalier family dictatorship (1957-1986), Haiti is still struggling to consolidate its own democratic institutions. A new Constitution was approved in 1987, amended in 2012, creating the conditions for a democratic government. The first truly free and fair elections were held in 1990, and won by Jean-Bertrand Aristide (Fanmi Lavalas). He was temporarily overthrown by the military in 1991, but thanks to international pressure, completed his term in office three years later. Aristide replaced the army with a civilian police force, and in 1996, when succeeded by René Préval (Inite/Unity Party), power was transferred democratically between two elected Haitian Presidents for the first time. Aristide was re-elected in 2001, but his government collapsed in 2004 and was replaced by an interim government. When new elections took place in 2006, Préval was elected President for a second term, Parliament was re-established, and a short period of democratic progress followed. A food crisis in 2008 generated violent protest, leading to the removal of the Prime Minister, and the situation worsened with the 2010 earthquake.

Michel Martelly ran against Mirlande Manigat (Le Monde 5 Apr. 2011; RFI 21 Apr. 2011; UN 5 Apr. 2011), a candidate for the Assembly of Progressive National Democrats of Haiti (Rassemblement des démocrates nationaux progressistes d'Haïti, RDNP) (RDNP 2011). According to two sources, Michel Martelly's party won three seats in the Haitian Parliament (Haïti-Référence 27 Apr. 2011; Le Monde 21 Apr. 2011). Inité, the party of outgoing president René Préval, won 46 of the 99 seats in the country's Parliament (Le Monde 21 Apr. 2011; AFP 26 Apr. 2011; see also HPN 22 Apr. 2011). Although considered the [translation] "big winner" in the legislative elections, Inité did not win an absolute majority (Le Monde 21 Apr. 2011). Nonetheless, it won 17 of the 30 seats in the Senate (AFP 26 Apr. 2011). According to an article published on 21 April 2011 by Paris daily Le Monde, irregularities in the 20 March 2011 elections led to the cancellation of hundreds of results sheets and to violent demonstrations in the country.

  • The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines
    The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines Dear Country Expert, In this section, we distinguish between the head of state (HOS) and the head of government (HOG). • The Head of State (HOS) is an individual or collective body that serves as the chief public representative of the country; his or her function could be purely ceremonial. • The Head of Government (HOG) is the chief officer(s) of the executive branch of government; the HOG may also be HOS, in which case the executive survey only pertains to the HOS. • The executive survey applies to the person who effectively holds these positions in practice. • The HOS/HOG pair will always include the effective ruler of the country, even if for a period this is the commander of foreign occupying forces. • The HOS and/or HOG must rule over a significant part of the country’s territory. • The HOS and/or HOG must be a resident of the country — governments in exile are not listed. • By implication, if you are considering a semi-sovereign territory, such as a colony or an annexed territory, the HOS and/or HOG will be a person located in the territory in question, not in the capital of the colonizing/annexing country. • Only HOSs and/or HOGs who stay in power for 100 consecutive days or more will be included in the surveys. • A country may go without a HOG but there will be no period listed with only a HOG and no HOS. • If a HOG also becomes HOS (interim or full), s/he is moved to the HOS list and removed from the HOG list for the duration of their tenure.
