iciHaiti - Justice : Situation of human rights and the rule of law in Haiti (Report June to Nov. 2022) 12/12/2022 13:30:07
Summary of key findings: "Gang-induced insecurity has reached unprecedented levels and continues to impede most normal activity... Gangs have become even more brutal and increasingly use rape and other forms of sexual violence primarily, but not exclusively, directed against women and girls, as a weapon against the population https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-37890-haiti-flash-sexual-violence-a-weapon-used-by-gangs-to-instill-fear-report.html "Institutional corruption continues to undermine democracy and the rule of law in Haiti, with senior officials implicated in fraud, embezzlement, arms and drug trafficking, and collusion with gang members... [even as] perpetrators of serious human rights abuses and other violent crimes operate with virtual impunity, a lack of accountability that is itself a driver of insecurity and institutional corruption. "Unprecedented inflation https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-38272-haiti-flash-annual-inflation-explodes-to-387-sept-2022.html and a crippling oil crisis have increased the Cost of life… ; made access to food, clean water and health care incredibly difficult; and forced hospitals and schools to close. The resurgence and rapid spread of cholera is both a consequence of these challenges and an aggravating factor. "Haitians across the country have taken to the streets to protest the destructive regime of Prime Minister Ariel Henry and demand his resignation and face violent police crackdowns. Instead of protecting them, the government is cracking down on dissent and using disproportionate violence..." "The international community continues to fundamentally fail to address these harms or adopt practices that respect the rights of Haitians, including supporting the de facto illegal regime, failing to implement policies aimed at curbing the illegal flow of arms to Haiti and treating Haitians seeking refuge from the crisis without dignity and in a way that violates the rights of migrants. As the UN prepares to launch a year of celebrations for the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) on Human Rights Day, the de facto government of Haiti, the United Nations and the international community as a whole should fulfill their human rights obligations to the Haitian people and support the rights of Haitians. to dignity, freedom and justice for all.
