Haiti - Justice : Mission of Gustavo Gallón to evaluate progress...
Gustavo Gallón, United Nations Independent Expert will visit Haiti from 6 to 15 September 2015 to assess the situation of human rights in the country, and to monitor progress on the implementation of the recommendations included in his report to the Human Rights Council in March 2015. https://www.haitilibre.com/docs/G1506487.pdf

"During this fourth visit, I would like to follow up the 2015 electoral process, as well as to listen to the concerns of Haitians, particularly those who have returned to Haiti from the Dominican Republic," Mr. Gallón said.

"I will pay particular attention to progress made on the five priorities set in my last report, i.e., illiteracy, pre-trial detention, transparency and credibility in the holding of the elections, violations of human rights perpetrated in the past, and the resettling, in suitable and long-term housing, of all those displaced by the 2010 earthquake and subsequent disasters who are still living in camps," he explained.

As in his previous mission https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-13230-haiti-justice-follow-up-mission-of-gustavo-gallon.html the Independent Expert will travel outside Port-au-Prince in order to assess the human rights situation outside the capital. The information collected will be the basis for the preparation of the report that the Independent Expert must present to the Human Rights Council in 2016.

During his mission, Mr. Gallón will meet with Haitian authorities, including the Office of Citizen Protection, the diplomatic corps, representatives of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and UN agencies, human rights defenders and civil society organizations.

The Independent Expert will hold a press conference on 15 September 2015 (time to be confirmed) in the conference room of MINUSTAH headquarters to present the preliminary findings of his visit. Access to the press conference is strictly limited to journalists.
