Haiti - Duvalier : Amnesty International alongside the Haitian Government 21/01/2011 16:24:20 "Investigating Jean Claude Duvalier for the human rights crimes committed during his time in power is a massive step forward", said Gerardo Ducos, "What we need to see now is a swift and impartial process, in line with international standards, that truly brings justice for those who have been waiting for too long." "Torture, enforced disappearances and extrajudicial executions are crimes under international law and do not prescribe. Justice must be done if Haiti is to move forward," said Gerardo Ducos. Amnesty International also urged the Haitian authorities to ensure that all victims and survivors of abuses committed during Duvalier's rule – including those living outside Haiti -- to have an opportunity to provide evidence in the process. "We are also calling on the UN to offer technical support to the Haitian authorities to ensure the trial against Jean Claude Duvalier meets the expectations of the Haitian people and the international community," said Gerardo Ducos.
