Haiti Lawyers File Lawsuit Against the Illegitimate Haiti Government For Requesting Invasion Into Haiti In Violation of Haiti Constitution
On November 6, 2023, Èzili Dantò’s Haitian Lawyers Leadership Network and Evel Fanfan’s Actions of Organizations Motivated for a Haiti Ruled by Law (AUMOHD), filed a lawsuit against the unelected and de facto Ariel Henry Haiti Government for requesting foreign troops be deployed to Haiti in violation of the Haiti Constitution and Haiti sovereignty.
See the original complaint in French, registered at the High Court of Port-au-Prince, No. I 3970329 (PDF of original filing) and the English translation at ezilidanto.com.
The Haitian Constitution prohibits in its article 263.1 the existence of other Armed Corps on the national territory. Haiti has had more than 10 different international interventions in the last decades. Each brought more disenfranchisement for the Haitian people, left more arms, more violence, and more human rights violations, including contaminated UN soldiers killing more than 10,000 Haitians with cholera, poisoning Haiti's waterways, and making one million Haitians sick. No reparations have ever been made for these international crimes.
Ariel Henry and his government are not duly elected and have no constitutional mandate or legal capacity to request foreign troops on Haitian soil. This is a high crime under the Haitian Constitution.
The Haitian lawsuit proposes two solutions that the international community and de facto Haiti government have at their disposal to counter the paramilitary death squads without bringing more violence and foreign military into Haiti:
These two solutions are the Haiti-led answers to support the human rights and sovereignty of the Haitian people, not illegal invasions to uphold imperial plunders and an illegal Ariel Henry government.
