Thursday March 28, 2024 "Human Rights Watch" in an information document, recommended 6 key measures to enable democratic governance, the protection of human rights and access to essential goods and services in Haiti.

"Ongoing events in Haiti highlight the urgency of a broad-based Security Council response to the human rights crisis and addressing the needs of the Haitian people,” said Nathalye Cotrino, crisis and conflict researcher at Human Rights Watch.

"It is critical for Haitian, regional, and international leaders to act to prevent the situation from spiraling further out of control and to truly support Haitians on a path forward toward democratic governance, basic security, the rule of law, and access to basic necessities so they can freely exercise and enjoy their human rights."

Recommendations :

1. United Nations Security Council members should keep their promise to the people of Haiti and urgently establish a UN-authorized security support mission with all necessary human rights safeguards.

2. Urgently establish a transitional government made up of leading Haitians who are not tarnished by credible allegations of corruption, support to criminal groups, human rights violations, or other serious crimes.

3. Urgently provide the necessary resources to allow for the immediate and safe delivery of humanitarian aid to Haitians in need.

4. Assist Haiti in rebuilding its justice system in a rights-respecting way, prioritizing accountability for serious human rights abuses.

5. Scale up efforts to stop the flow of weapons and ammunition into Haiti.

6. Don’t deport, return, or otherwise force people to go to Haiti.
