INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY EXPECTS HAITIAN GOVERNMENT TO IMPROVE PUBLIC SECURITY, OAS SECRETARY GENERAL DECLARES
March 26, 2003
The Government of Haiti is expected to take immediate and decisive steps to improve public security to begin a range of confidence-building measures that will lead to free elections this year, the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), said today.
Secretary General Cesar Gaviria said that, “It is the government’s responsibility to establish a climate of public security that is conducive to holding free and fair elections in 2003. Both government and opposition must reject violence as a political tool and demonstrate respect for democratic values and the rule of law. These values are at the heart of CP/Res. 822.”
The Secretary General’s comments came in the wake of the recent OAS-CARICOM High-level Delegation, led jointly by St. Lucian Foreign Minister and Chairman of the CARICOM Council for Foreign and Community Relations, Senator the Hon. Julian Hunte and Assistant Secretary General Luigi R. Einaudi. Einaudi told the Permanent Council that unless Haiti meets security obligations under Resolution 822, adopted last September, the opportunity to celebrate good elections in 2003 will be lost.
“The international community is not asking for anything new, but it needs clear evidence that Haiti is meeting the commitments it has already made. Those with influence in Haiti cannot expect indefinite international support without showing results,” said Einaudi.
According to Einaudi, the delegation was united in its message that the lack of progress by the government on security and lack of progress by the political parties and other sectors in the formation and functioning of an “independent, credible and neutral” Provisional electoral Council (CEP) was deeply troubling.
The broadly representative delegation, which included the Foreign Minister of the Bahamas, and personal representatives of President Bush and Prime Minister Chretien, among others, met with President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and members of his Cabinet and other key government officials, as well as with representatives of the opposition Convergence Démocratique, civil society and the Conférence Episcopale.
