Mission for the Stabilization of Haiti (MINUSTAH).\u00a0 This was the second foreign occupation the country had seen in less than ten years.\u00a0 The military arm of MINUSTAH withdrew in 2019.\u00a0 The U.N. then created an agency called the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti\u00a0(BINUH), which took as its mission the protection and promotion of respect for human rights in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 From 2004 to 2019, the country was effectively under a thinly veiled state of international trusteeship.\u00a0 All spheres of national political life were controlled by foreign powers, the United States in particular.\u00a0 The U.N. served in reality only as a sound box for the interests of the major foreign powers in Haiti, organized in the form of a unique and peculiar coalition known as the Core Group that includes Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, and Spain \u2014 in addition to the U.S., the U.N., the E.U., and the Organization of American States (OAS).\u00a0 The Core Group inserted itself into the heart of the electoral process, often under cover of technical assistance, dismissing ballot results that conflicted with its interests and announcing its own preferred outcomes.\u00a0 By never failing to support reactionary forces that oppressed the vast majority of Haitians, the Core Group countries made a mockery of their claim to be the friends of the Haitian people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For their part, docile Haitian politicians who toed the foreign policy lines of the major powers, particularly the United States, received carte blanche to govern in the name of corruption and repression.\u00a0 The current impasse is the continuation of this dynamic.\u00a0 Jovenel Mo\u00efse has adopted a foreign policy whose sole objective is to defend the interests of the United States, with whose support he hopes to remain in power notwithstanding overwhelming popular opposition to his rule.\u00a0 Mo\u00efse voted for Venezuela\u2019s expulsion from the OAS, engineered a military alliance consisting of the United States and several Latin American nations, and came out against Chinese policies towards Hong Kong \u2014 all in the name of appeasing Donald Trump.\u00a0 Mo\u00efse has tarnished Haiti\u2019s image as a standard bearer for liberty, equality, and fraternity.\u00a0 Never has the country\u2019s foreign policy been in such self-interested, mediocre, and erratic hands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the U.N.\u2019s seventeen-year long presence in Haiti, the only visible results are a disastrous cholera pandemic, the near total disintegration of state structures, and the acceleration of the country\u2019s economic and social collapse.\u00a0 At no time since the fall of the Duvalier dictatorship has Haiti been as unstable as during the era of the U.N. presence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In this context, it is perhaps no surprise that the Haitian government has managed to excel at little other than the promotion of domestic insecurity.\u00a0 Armed gangs, linked to politicians who believe them indispensable as a means to attain and hold power, have proliferated.\u00a0 They have extended their tentacles even into the most remote rural zones.\u00a0 Kidnappings for ransom have become a commonplace practice.\u00a0 And the police work hand in hand with the very gangsters they claim to be seeking, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.rnddh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Rap-Cit%C3%A9-Soleil-082020.pdf\">according to human rights organizations<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/Documents\/Countries\/HT\/Haiti_Rapport_Bel_Air.pdf\">the U.N.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The poorest Haitians are often the victims of these gangs.\u00a0 In November 2018 and the summer of 2020, gangs linked to the current government perpetrated massacres of the La Saline and Cit\u00e9 Soleil neighborhoods.\u00a0 71 civilians were murdered in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/news\/nation-world\/world\/americas\/haiti\/article230380739.html\">the attacks on La Saline<\/a>.\u00a0 The Cit\u00e9 Soleil attacks left 111 dead and 48 persons missing.\u00a0 Both of these atrocities have been <a href=\"https:\/\/web.rnddh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Rap-Cit%C3%A9-Soleil-082020.pdf\">linked to powerful politicians<\/a> seeking to use gang warfare to intimidate and control Haiti\u2019s largest slum cities in anticipation of upcoming elections.\u00a0 Fednel Monchery, the director general of the Interior Ministry implicated in the La Saline massacre, was arrested at the beginning of 2021 only to be released two hours later despite being on the police wanted list.\u00a0 523 assassinations were carried out in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area from January to June 2019 alone.\u00a0 Human rights organizations have documented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/reports\/2020-country-reports-on-human-rights-practices\/haiti\/\">almost one thousand violent deaths from January to September 2020<\/a> (including political assassinations, large-scale massacres of civilians, and executions of antigovernment protesters).\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/HAITI-2019-HUMAN-RIGHTS-REPORT-REVISED-3.13.2020.pdf\">U.S. State Department\u2019s own reporting on some of these events<\/a> shows that it is well informed of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/reports\/2020-country-reports-on-human-rights-practices\/haiti\/\">the human rights situation in Haiti<\/a> \u2014 including the de facto regime\u2019s failure to prosecute government and law enforcement officials accused of committing abuses \u2014 but deliberately chooses to support a government plainly implicated in the violation of those rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At least two armed groups have even found shelter within the Haitian National Police itself.\u00a0 One of these, known as \u201cAll Black\u201d and led by Jimmy Cherizier, carries out criminal missions that the authorities do not want to entrust to the (regular) police, according to the president of the national police officers union.\u00a0 The other, called Fantom 509, operates as a kind of special protection racket for police officers whom it believes has been illegally imprisoned.\u00a0 The Haitian National Police has entered a state of accelerated breakdown, despite the claims of foreign powers to have worked towards its professionalization for the pat twenty years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Against this perilous security backdrop, Haiti now also faces existential challenges to its electoral and judicial systems.\u00a0 The de facto president, whose term expired February 7, 2021, has never organized elections to renew the Parliament and the councils of the local and regional authorities.\u00a0 This means that the sole legitimately elected representatives of the Republic of Haiti today are the ten senators representing the last third of the Senate. \u00a0Mo\u00efse seems to have taken great pleasure in announcing, on the second Monday of January 2020, the lapse of the Chamber of Deputies and the dysfunction of the Senate owing to the lack of the constitutionally required quorum.\u00a0 Despite the U.N. presence, elections have never been conducted in Haiti in accordance with the constitutional timelines.\u00a0 Convinced that the electoral machinery is programmed in favor of his party, the de facto president is like the devil in a baptismal font, debating with himself as he organizes elections in which the opposition refuses to participate.\u00a0 Only the de facto government and the international community support the move to organize new elections in the current conditions.\u00a0 Given the impossible security climate and the illegality of the de facto president\u2019s actions, including his appointment of a puppet Electoral Council, it is difficult to see how Haiti exits from the \u00a0current stalemate without the constructive mediation of the United States and\/or the leading international organizations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mo\u00efse\u2019s tenure has also coincided with a systematic and deliberate campaign to undermine the country\u2019s legal system.\u00a0 The de facto president has sought to make the Haitian judiciary, a coequal branch of goverment, totally dependent on him.\u00a0 He has appointed and dismissed judges of the Court of Cassation at will and even arrested one of them, notwithstanding that the Constitution makes them answerable only to the high court itself.\u00a0 He has ordered judges to imprison, detain, and release whomever he wants.\u00a0 He has persecuted his political opponents, some of whom have had to go into exile.\u00a0 He has undertaken to amend the Constitution through popular referendum in violation of article 284.3.\u00a0 In short, Mo\u00efse is attempting to return Haiti to the kind of dictatorship that it endured under the Duvaliers.\u00a0 Far from bringing more stability to the situation, these ultra vires measures have only triggered endless and ongoing strikes by the judiciary and the legal bureaucracy.\u00a0 They have created a pernicious Catch-22 dynamic in which, as Judge Jean Wilmer Morin has warned, Haitian citizens currently have no legal means of getting out of prison once they have entered it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, even as the Haitian people have continued to demand his resignation for more than two years, Mo\u00efse has defiantly created a culture of impunity for his own acts of corruption and malfeasance.\u00a0 He has relied on the support of armed gangs to stay at the helm of a devastated country in which political crimes have become commonplace.\u00a0 There have been no repercussions for the corruption scandals in which top-ranking officials and politicians linked to the government have been implicated.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/news\/news-desk\/haitians-want-to-know-what-the-government-has-done-with-missing-oil-money\">The Petrocaribe affair<\/a>, in which Mo\u00efse and his cronies stand accused of having pilfered monies that Haiti received in connection with a Venezuelan oil-purchasing program, is perhaps the biggest financial scandal the country has ever known.\u00a0 Along with the fuel price increase imposed by the International Monetary Fund in the summer of 2018, it is one of the principal short-term causes of the current crisis, since a fair trial is only possible with a change of leadership.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The role of the international community in Haiti\u2019s vertiginous descent into the depths of social collapse is beyond dispute.\u00a0 It has never clearly denounced Mo\u00efse\u2019s authoritarian abuses.\u00a0 It has so often reduced democracy to the routine, infantile organization of regular elections, whether credible or not, as if spreading the gospel of elections will somehow resolve the complex legacies of foreign intervention in Haiti over the past thirty years and more.\u00a0 It has rarely stood squarely at the side of the Haitian people in its efforts to build a democratic state \u2014 even in the face of the massive demonstrations against Mo\u00efse\u2019s rule that we have seen in recent weeks.\u00a0 The contempt that the international community and Haitian government have shown for the legitimate demands of ordinary Haitian citizens is the fundamental source of the current crisis, as it has been of previous crises.\u00a0 It is long past time for the international community \u2014 a pompous label behind which certain foreign powers, particularly the United States, France, and Canada, so often hide \u2014 to chart a genuinely new path in its relationship with Haiti.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current resistance movement is part of a longstanding struggle by the Haitian people in defense of its fundamental rights that dates back to the revolutionary era.\u00a0 After 29 years of the Duvalier dictatorship, that movement crystallized in the 1987 Constitution, an imperfect document that nonetheless prioritized the human rights of ordinary Haitians, including their right to live under a state embodying the rule of law.\u00a0 For more than thirty years, the implementation of that charter has been blocked by a combination of reactionary domestic forces and self-interested foreign powers.\u00a0 Only a systematic policy to provide sustainable answers to the fundamental claims of the country\u2019s poor majority can bring an end to the social collapse that we are currently witnessing in Haiti.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/1D8F5E60-6A5F-44BF-A199-A59DB8E14774#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> Historian and researcher in France.<\/p>\n<p><a
