Saturday, Michaëlle Jean, the UNESCO Special Envoy for Haiti, reacting to the death of former President Jean-Claude Duvalier https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12203-haiti-flash-former-president-jean-claude-duvalier-died-update-2.html stated :

"As I learn of Jean-Claude Duvalier’s death on this October 4th, I can only regret that justice was unable to complete its course and that he never had to answer the charges of systematic corruption and serious crimes committed under his regime.

I am still convinced that real national reconciliation and concord could only have come through a duty of truth.

On this day, my thoughts are first with the victims of so much brutality and with Haiti, as a whole, which suffered years of sorrow and grave affronts to human rights, liberties and democracy.

We should all draw clear lessons from this somber chapter of history."
