Haiti - Diplomacy : The «Core Group» welcomes the 29 January elections
31/01/2017 09:29:19

Sandra Honoré, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the other members of the "Core Group" (the Ambassadors of Brazil, Canada, France, Spain, United States of America, the European Union and the Special Representative of the Organization of American States) welcomes the holding of the 29 January polls to fill remaining Legislative seats and elect local representatives of communal sections and urban centres.

"The 'Core Group' commends the Provisional Electoral Council, the Government of Haiti and the Haitian National Police for their leadership in creating a conducive environment for the holding of these elections. It deplores the sporadic acts of election-related violence and encourages all Haitian citizens, including candidates, political parties and their supporters, to resolve any electoral disputes that may arise in a peaceful manner and through established legal channels.

The 'Core Group' welcomes with satisfaction the framework now provided, at national and local level, for effective democratic governance and the restoration of institutional stability, in response to the aspirations of the Haitian people."
