OAS ACTING SECRETARY GENERAL PROPOSES CREATION OF COMMISSION
TO BREAK IMPASSE IN NEPTUNE CASE IN HAITI
May 4, 2005
The Acting Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Ambassador Luigi R. Einaudi, today called for a mixed Haitian-international commission to help “break the impasse” in Haiti over the imprisoned former Prime Minister, Yvon Neptune.
The case has “serious moral and political implications for the Haitian government and for the international community” and must be resolved quickly, as the former Prime Minister’s hunger strike has left him in a dangerously weakened condition, Einaudi told the Permanent Council . An attempt to evacuate Neptune failed over the weekend when Neptune refused to leave unless all charges were dropped, which the Haitian authorities said could not be done without a completed judicial process.
Neptune was incarcerated last June on charges implicating him in deaths and arson attacks in Saint Marc in February 2004.
Einaudi suggested that a tripartite commission – made up of a Haitian jurist, an international jurist and an international forensic expert – could examine the Neptune case and recommend a course of action. He said he hoped both the government and the former Prime Minister would agree to the formation of the commission.
During today’s Permanent Council meeting, Haitian Ambassador Duly Brutus said he would report the new proposal to his government. He said his government was sensitive to humanitarian concerns but noted that it must also take into account principles of justice and Haitian law.
Several delegations expressed concern about the humanitarian implications of the case and welcomed Einaudi’s initiative. Argentina offered to provide the services of a forensic expert to serve on the proposed tripartite commission, if it is formed.
During the meeting, chaired by Peruvian Ambassador Alberto Borea, several member states also requested that the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which visited Haiti recently, report to the Permanent Council on its findings.
In proposing the tripartite commission, Einaudi noted that the OAS Permanent Council had authorized similar efforts in Haiti in 2002, in response to violent incidents in late 2001. He also said the initiative would be consistent with General Assembly mandates calling for strengthening democracy and human rights in Haiti, as well as with principles of the Inter-American Democratic Charter.
