Support this as well as aiding the Haitian orphans. For only $7,000 one can provide a pump which will bring fresh water to a village. The conditions are deplorable.
I can not think of anything more dissapointing than knowing that the UN has become a terrorist group, killing civilians in order to subjugate Haiti's population serve the US Empire.
Just returned from a trip to Haiti. The UN guys from Nepal wield big guns, can't speak French or Creole, or English. Peacekeeping??? The Haitians that we spoke with mentioned abuse of Haitian women by UN forces.
The MINUSTAH forces are led by an army whose only merit to this day has been not fighting enemy armies, but the brutal repression, together with the military police it has commanded, firstly of the slave population of Brazil, and later, after the abolition of slavery in 1888, of their descendants in the favelas. Let it not do the same in Haiti.
Raids are not justice. Innocent death and civilian injury are unacceptable. People are listening to the voice of the poor. If the United Nations doesn't hold itself to international standards, how could peace ever be achieved?
End the UN occupation of Haiti! MINUSTAH does not need to be a heavily armed force, and it should not have a mandate to launch broad attacks on the slums. MINUSTAH should be re-purposed to support healthcare and civilian infrastructure - these things will help lessen the violence in the long term.
ADHIERO EN FORMA TOTAL, PROFUNDA, CONTUNDENTE A ESTE LLAMADO POR LA PAZ EN HAÏTI, Y QUE LOS HAITIANOS Y HAITIANAS DECIDAN SU PRESENTE, SU FUTURO YA QUE PROPUESTAS VÁLIDAS TIENEN!!! UNAMONOS Y APOYEMOS ESTE LLAMADO A NIVEL INTERNACIONAL!!!!!!
A CORAZÓN ABIERTO, MI ABRAZO AL PUEBLO HAITIANO.

I spent four months in Port-au-Prince in 2006 and, in support of my Haitian friends and in recognition of the justice of the proposals in this petition, I also urge those with responsibility to act responsibly.

UN resolution 1542 (2004) Adopted by the Security Council April 30
Deplores "all violations of human rights, particularly against the civilian
population" and is mandated in Section I (d) "to assist with the restoration and maintenance of the rule of law". The UN routinely violates their own mandates by willfully endangering (and killing) innocent civilians. As the petition notes, MINUSTAH violates Haitian law on a regular basis in their operations in Cite Soleil through these extrajudicial executions and their civilian casualties, as well as the hundreds of warantless illegal arrests that have been made by MINUSTAH soldiers overwhelmingly in the poorest and most politically targeted sectors: Cite Soleil, Simon Pele, Bel Air and others over the past two and a half years.
It is unacceptable that MINUSTAH fired 22,000 bullets in an attack on one building. These huge volleys of heavy calibre machine guns into civilian areas is a reprehensible act. Violence must be avoided as innocent people are dying - a peace process must be initiated. The homes of those proven to be criminals should be cordoned off and then those within should be provided the chance to negotiate in accordance with proper police procedures. Neighbors should be evacuated, etc. This should go for all criminals, not just those living in Cite Soleil. As it stands MINUSTAH is acting like a death squad targeting wide swaths of Cite Soleil.
It is also urgent that the paramilitary criminals of the FLRN who invaded Haiti from the Dominican Republic (with Dominican militay support) in 2004 be arrested and brought before a court of law. People such as Rudy Kernizan, the chief of Lame TiManchet (now on the run), Louis-Jodel Chamblain,former FRAPH, Guy Philippe, former FAdH, and Winter Etienne, who roams free in Gonaives, should all be brought before a court of law immediately. The thousands of public sector workers, including nearly 500 loyal police officers, fired after the 2004 coup should be allowed to return to their posts.
