HAITI: Another deadline comes and goes
“Deep disappointment” was the response by United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to the failure by Haitian authorities to “meet the election and inauguration deadlines agreed upon in the February political accord” signed by former president Michel Martelly (2011-2016) and the heads of congress ahead of his departure on 7 February [WR-16-06]. The UNSC statement was issued on 14 May, the date set by the February accord for the new president to be installed – a deadline which was not met following the failure to stage the delayed presidential and partial legislative run-off elections (scheduled for 24 April) [WR-16-14]. With interim president Jocelerme Privert now floating October as the date for the elections to take place, the international community is starting to lose patience.
