[opinion] Haiti: human rights safeguards and transparency must guide security mission deployment.
Amnesty International raises concerns about lack of transparency regarding the establishment of human rights safeguards for the Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission in Haiti.
In a public statement issued today, Amnesty International is raising concerns about the lack of transparency regarding the establishment of human rights safeguards for the Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission in Haiti, that is expected to be deployed in the coming months.
“It is imperative to ensure that any action taken by this multinational mission led by Kenya and supported by the United States and other countries strictly complies with international human rights law as mandated by the United Nations Security Council. A misstep in this regard would be devastating for Haitian people´s rights”, said Ana Piquer, Americas Director at Amnesty International.
