Haiti - Justice : 2 years after the La Saline massacre, the legal file is at a standstill

"It has been two years now that the situation is serious and urgent and nothing is happening, except for new deaths and more and more violence and impunity" laments Le Collectif

However, after months of inertia, the IACHR has just announced a bilateral meeting with the Haitian State. The Collective welcomes this announcement and "hopes that this meeting will prevent the announced sinking of the rule of law in Haiti [...]"
