Last year saw remarkable progress in Haiti. Successful elections, promises of international donor support and Congressional passage of the H.O.P.E. bill created a sense of guarded optimism about the future. However, critical problems remain. Most important is the absence of security and failure of police and the judicial system to function effectively. The International Crisis Group has produced a new study on this critical area.
The next session of the USIP Haiti Working Group will look at the ICG study and examine issues of security, justice, and international cooperation. Please join us.
