Haiti - Elections : RNDDH little optimistic on the OAS mission
The National Network for the Defence of Human Rights (RNDDH) shows little optimistic about the outcome of the work of the verification mission of Organization of American States (OAS) which has just been signed between the OAS, the Government and the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP).
For Vilès Alizar, Programme Manager at RNDDH, the problem is at a level higher than a simple recount of minutes. Recalling that thousands of voters were prevented from taking part in the elections [1,074,056 voters on 4,694,961 registered] "We must address the problem in its entirety, because the superficial or temporary solutions will not help solve the crisis" adding that "the better is the search of durable solutions based on respect for the rights of citizens to choose their own leaders."
RNDDH also recalls that many government offices and private property have been fires, vandalized and looted during the protest demonstrations that followed the publication of preliminary results and requires that action, not partisan to be taken against perpetrators of these criminal acts.
