Overview
Port-au-Prince, 22 January 2016 - The Special Representative of the Secretary General in Haiti and other members of the international community in Haiti represented in the “Core Group" (the Ambassadors of Brazil, Canada, France, Spain, the United States of America, the European Union and the Special Representative of the Organization of American States), reiterate their continued support for the conclusion of an inclusive and equitable electoral process while supporting efforts aimed at finding a way forward that ensures the democratic renewal of State institutions.
The “Core Group” continues to extend its full support for efforts to find consensual and constructive solutions to Haiti’s ongoing governance challenges, through elections and through dialogue among interested parties.
The members of the “Core Group” deplore the recent acts of electoral violence and calls on the national authorities, political parties, candidates and supporters, and the electorate in general to participate in the electoral process with responsibility and restraint, so that the people of Haiti can express their will in a climate free of intimidation and violence.
