Some human rights organizations in Haiti have expressed their concerns ...
The signatories do not hide their astonishment, their worries and concerns about the multiple flaws that have characterized the different stages of the passage of the law itself and on urgent issues that this vote will not fail to create in near and distant future, if not applied the necessary corrections.
It is actually a vote of dubious legitimacy, calling for a House of Representatives whose term has expired since January 7, 2010, while the Constitution clearly states that "in any case the mandate of MPs and senators can not be extended. "As for the Senate, it lacked ten votes because of the election postponed. This procedure was still wobbly used to assign responsibilities to an executive whose term expires in eight months.
The debates have failed to light on the basic legal terms, and have floated a confusing state of emergency and state of siege and the extent of the powers of each institution during this period. This represents a continuing threat to the rights of citizens. With a lightness disconcerting that the decision was made to withdraw at this time ways and means which are beyond any jurisdiction and control of all institutional bodies in Haiti.
This law also includes the creation of the International Commission on Reconstruction (CIR). From the perspective of mass media that will be needed in the next ten years to rebuild the country, the issue of procedures for conducting projects and projects is not clear: who will control, which bears the responsibility for expenditure? The past has shown us how lightly we could proceed in similar circumstances. To create an original body, whose actions will impact several decades, we can not understand that she is an executive whose term ends February 7, 2011. The rights of individuals may be threatened as well as the fate of the country itself.
Given the importance of transactions that must span multiple decades saw the damage that greed and corruption may cause the undersigned organizations are launching an urgent appeal for the formation of a platform for vigilance and advocacy organizations including civil society, the media and international bodies concerned for the Haitian people is protected by the reality of the rule of law.
