In a resolution called "Joint Declaration for a Government of National Salvage" the 107 organization signed on to create a council of seven personalities led by Bernard Craan that will play as intermediaries between the hundreds of stakeholding representative organizations in Haiti to establish a transitional government.
The declaration also took care to require for prosecutions to be undertaken with the crimes involved in the Petrocaribe fund and the Dermalog contract.
JOINT DECLARATION FOR A NATIONAL RESCUE GOVERNMENT
NATIONAL RESCUE DECLARATION
Haitian Ladies and Haitian Gentlemen in Haiti and the Diaspora, THE TIME IS SERIOUS!
The situation of the national boat is more than ever in danger: absolute state failure; dilapidation of the public administration; unbridled corruption; tumble down the gourd; increased brutality of the expensive life; aggravation of material and moral misery; Growing frustrations, anger and revolt of the population expressed for several months through recurrent manifestations; bitterness of youth left out; distress of the unemployed rebels; despair of abandoned children in the streets on fire; total blockage of the operation of all sectors; recurrent closure of schools and universities, stores, hospitals and health centers; painful dysfunction of social life; loss of life, destruction of private and public property; free field to thefts, rapes, killings and killings perpetrated by armed gangs; an amalgam of socio-economic, governmental, clan, popular and industrial violence; absolute loss of confidence between the population and the government.
Haiti is plunged into a chaotic situation announcing an imminent humanitarian disaster.
The vast majority of civil society organizations, political groups, employers' and professional associations, youth groups, trade unions, academics, religious groups of different denominations, voodoo groups and Masonic lodges note that
the country is not directed and the government has lost control of the state apparatus.
We, the signers of this declaration, just as indignant as this vast majority of the population by the free fall of society, invite all sectors to unite in a single block solidarity around this call to engage in discussions with a view to a lasting solution to the crisis.
While expressing our sympathies to the victims of the situation, we ask the public authorities and all the socio-political forces of the country to respond to this patriotic call , to rise to the height of their responsibilities, to pose themselves as responsible citizen-actors and to accept the sacrifices necessary for the resolution of the crisis.
National Salvage Declaration
On behalf of the Haitian Nation, we address you:
- Mr. President of the Republic. To recognize the bankruptcy of your management of the public affairs and call you to give the Nation your resignation.
- Ladies and gentlemen, Parliamentarians. To acknowledge that the bankruptcy of the 50th Parliament has greatly contributed to the disastrous situation that the country is currently experiencing and to ask you to see the lapse of the current Parliament by giving up collectively and immediately to what remains of your mandates.
- Compatriots of Civil Society. To invite you to participate in the establishment of a political agreement whose main objective is the establishment and support of a peaceful and orderly transition. 4. Compatriots of the political opposition. Haiti needs you; the common fatherland needs you, your patriotism, your sacrifice of self-interest for the benefit of the national interest. Act on behalf of the Nation, for the Nation, with the Nation so that the country can put in place a national rescue government whose main objectives should include:
Removing the Dermalog card
- The restoration of public order (the security of the country, the withdrawal of the illegal identity card , the holding of general, free, transparent and honest elections, the depoliticization of the PNH, the dismantling of armed gangs, the establishment of state authority, the strengthening of human rights protection mechanisms, etc.).
- The recovery of the public administration and the regularization of the functioning of our public services.
- The implementation of an emergency program for the benefit of the most vulnerable groups.
- The revival of economic activities.
- Putting public finances in order.
- Follow-up of records related to the management of Petro Caribe funds and any other file related to corruption and misappropriation of public property.
- The reorganization of the Electoral Council and the guarantee of its functioning on a non-partisan basis.
- The accompaniment of political parties for the next elections.
- The organization of the National Conference ( consensual national organizational bases , terms of reference and methodology, actual implementation).
- Preparation and voting of a new Constitution.
Impunity to Fight
- The reform of the judicial system starting with the immediate actions to be taken to put an end to the culture of impunity maintained by our judicial administration.
- The harmonization of the cooperation framework with public policies and the effective coordination of all the financial and economic assistance of the international community, essential to the recovery of the country's economy.
- The establishment of a modern, responsible and effective diplomacy in the service of the interests of the country and its nationals.
Inescapable departure of Jovenel Moïse
Dear compatriot,
The withdrawal of the current management team should be organized in such a way as to protect republican institutions, avoid the waste of public resources and prevent a generalized disruption that could only increase the misery of the Haitian people and further delay economic development from the country. For that, we, citizens, belonging to the living forces of the Haitian society, create a "PASSERELLE" which is an interface structure to facilitate, in a limited time to a month:
- The construction of a Political Transition Agreement between the social and political forces of the country committed to change (including taking into account the definition of transition governance mechanisms, the choice of personalities to form the National Rescue Government and the road map of this government);
- The orderly departure of the power of the President of the Republic, Mr. Jovenel MOÏSE;
- Conditions for the withdrawal of all Parliamentarians from the 50th Parliament;
- The establishment of a citizen structure to control government action.
The Gateway will benefit from the support of Haitians and Haitians from the country and the Diaspora to accomplish its mission. It will be able to call upon experts and high-level professionals to assist it in carrying out its mandate.
We, human rights organizations, employers, trade unions, peasants, academics, civil society, signatories of this declaration, constituting a coalition of actors, propose the following seven personalities from different sectors to play the role of facilitation between stakeholders.
- Bernard CRAAN
- Carole DEMESMIN
- Castel GERMEIL
- Dr. Sofia LORÉUS
- Dr. Charles MANIGAT
- Sabine MANIGAT
- Lemete ZÉPHYR
The members of La PASSERELLE undertake to exercise their mandate on a voluntary basis and not to join the National Rescue Government.
Dear compatriots, Haitian citizens, we solemnly undertake to carry out the terms of this "Call", with your support, by making every effort to ensure the installation of the GATEWAY and the installation of a Rescue Government national.
