HAITI: ACTION, NOT WORDS, SAYS OAS ASSISTANT SECRETARY GENERAL
February 6, 2003
Repeating his conviction that both Haiti and the international community are facing a moment of crisis, OAS Assistant Secretary General Luigi Einaudi yesterday described migration as “an escape valve from the country's problems" used by the Haitian middle classes as well as by the poor and dispossessed.
Einaudi was addressing a conference on the "Current Haitian Migration Crisis" organized by Church World Service, an international humanitarian aid agency, and hosted by Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) on Capitol Hill. Others addressing the conference included Representatives Donna Christian-Christensen (D-US Virgin Islands) and John Conyers (D-MI) and Ambassador Joshua Sears of The Bahamas.
Speaking on “The Situation in Haiti”, the Assistant Secretary General described the work of the OAS Special Mission for Strengthening Democracy in Haiti headed by Canadian David Lee, which started work in the country in April 2002 with financial contributions from OAS member and observer states. Recalling Resolution 822 adopted by the OAS in September 2002, he lamented that “none of the actors involved,” including the Government of Haiti, the opposition parties under the Convergence Démocratique, civil society or even the international community "has fully met its obligations under the resolution."
Einaudi said that following recent proposals by Saint Lucia and the United States during a Permanent Council meeting held on January 29, an OAS/CARICOM delegation was preparing to visit Haiti, where concerns abound over growing violence and insecurity. He cautioned that urgent action, not words, is needed from all concerned in order to ensure that the country is set on a truly democratic path and that "the bicentennial of the first independent black Republic in the world can be a moment for the rallying of the Haitian people both within the country and in the diaspora.”
