Haiti - Elections : Verification process, the RNDDH denounces ... 14/12/2010 14:12:48
RNDDH issues its reserves about the mission of the commission for the following reasons: 1.- The formation of this commission with a mandate to check the minutes ar the tabulation center hits the provisions of Article 190 of the Electoral Act which states: "In cases requiring verification either in the databases of the electoral institution (BED, BEC) either on the ground, the organ of litigation, for pretrial matters, ordered the audits be conducted by a committee of three ( 3) members. The composition of that committee is the responsibility of the organ. However, only the BCEN is empowered to order and carry out an audit of the Tabulation Center. The party or its counsel, if it considers it necessary, may attend the verification process and provide relevant information". 2.- This commission will not confirm or deny the preliminary results published by the CEP. What will be far from solving the problem arose from the general organization of the elections on 28 November and the publication of results. For example the issue of management of sensitive materials by CEP deserves an answer and does not seem to be part of the mandate of this commission. It was found well before election day that at Thomassique and Ouanaminthe, that lots of ballots were in possession of some people. CIs this problem born in the management made by the institution made responsible for printing ballots, by the CEP or by the United Nations Mission for Stabilization in Haiti (Minustah) ? That is a question that a commission charged simply to verify the minutes could not respond. The Committee that the CEP decides to form will not be able to identify the problem in all its sharpness. 3.- What institution will be legally responsible to assess the report of this commission? The CEP already maligned, does not inspire trust anyone to play the role of body called upon to decide on the report of such commission. 4.- Logically, the vote operations should have been resumptions in some parts of the country where they were stopped well before the publication of preliminary results. However, the CEP released the results for all constituency of the Republic. In addition, the results published by the CEP are likely to reward those involved in full view of everyone in serious acts of electoral violence on polling day. Indeed, the CEP has validated the elections in constituencies where more than half of the voting centers were vandalized. For example:
The examples mentioned above, are not exhaustive, are recognized throughout the country. In addition, after the poll, some minutes were written in violation of the Electoral Law in the bases of Minustah, in the BED or in BEC and are scandalously validated by the CEP. The RNDDH recalls that the electoral law provides sentences ranging from six (6) months to fifteen (15) years in prison for these offenses. However, no official of CEP, identified in the perpetration of these offences is revoked, no candidate, no supporter or sympathizer, author or co-perpetrator of violence is followed. The Government Commissioners are not seized against the perpetrators of these serious violations of the Electoral Law. Instead, they are rewarded for their crime. The RNDDH condemns the acts of violence that followed the publication of preliminary results of elections of November 28 2010 and presents its condolences to all victims, especially officials, supporters and sympathizers of the presidential platform INITE. RNDDH believes that such violence could have been avoided if the CEP had shown more responsibility and taken into account the reports of various organizations of electoral observation. The RNDDH believes it is urgent to seek a solution to this situation of post-electoral crisis that can no longer endure. However, this solution does certainly not by the creation of a Commission of Verification of the Minutes at the Tabulation Center. It requires affirmative measures to ensure the validity of the vote, punishment of perpetrators and accomplices of the violations of the Electoral Law committed the November 28, 2010 and the resumption of voting in areas where they have been disturbed. Port-au-Prince, December 14, 2010 The observation of the electoral process by the RNDDH was made possible through funding from the European Union. The contents of this publication are the sole responsibility of RNDDH and may in no circumstances be considered as reflecting the position of the European Union..
