STATEMENT BY THE OAS SECRETARY GENERAL ON THE WAVE OF KIDNAPPINGS IN HAITI
December 15, 2006
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Jose Miguel Insulza, has been following with deep concern the wave of kidnappings being unleashed in Haiti, and states:
The OAS General Secretariat is especially concerned as children are being targeted by kidnappers and are even being murdered. These most reprehensible acts have left no segment of society untouched. We at the OAS stand in solidarity with the Haitian people and in particular with parents, who are being so harshly tested by this violence.
We condemn these crimes in the strongest terms and call on the perpetrators to put a stop to them immediately. All member states believe it is important for every necessary step to be taken to honor obligations assumed under conventions they have ratified and incorporated into their domestic laws. In this regard, the
> Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women
and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child are two basic treaties at the disposal of the Haitian state to help build a more secure society for its citizens.
We call on all leaders in Haiti and all those who exercise power and have influence over the course of events to make every effort to bring an end to the kidnapping and violence that are destroying Haitian society.
