Haiti - Canal crisis : The OAS calls for dialogue
The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (OAS) informs that it has initiated consultations with the authorities of Haiti and the Dominican Republic regarding the border dispute relating to the construction of an irrigation canal in Haiti with a water intake on the Massacre River, also known as the Dajabón River in the Dominican Republic.

"[...] water resources are vital for both, given the needs of its inhabitants, especially in the current context of drought. This use must be ensured in accordance with international law and the treaties in force between both countries.

We are confident that both parties have the capabilities to assure the other of good faith to resolve these issues.
In this sense, the OAS General Secretariat offers its support, either directly or through any associated State or subregional organization, to collaborate with all the necessary aspects to resolve the dispute.

This controversy must be resolved based on the principle of good neighborliness and friendship between both countries and their leaders. In this context, dialogue and mutual understanding are imperative, avoiding any tension and working to overcome disagreement.

The current situation does not benefit either party. It is essential that the Dominican and Haitian authorities meet as soon as possible to carry out a frank dialogue, for which the General Secretariat of the OAS and its Secretary General are in the best position to collaborate in the search for a beneficial solution for both countries."
