CARICOM’s silence on UN’s rejection of Haitian claims
Mar 19, 2013
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - IT’S ALMOST a month since United Nations (UN) Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon informed Haiti’s President Michel Martelly of the quite shocking decision to invoke “legal immunity” for rejecting compensation claims by some 5 000 Haitian cholera victims.
That tragic decision was conveyed via telephone within two days following the conclusion of a CARICOM Heads of Government Conference in Haiti presided over by President Martelly, current chairman of the 15-member Community.
In an editorial earlier this month denouncing that tragic decision, we concluded with an alert that it was now awaiting “CARICOM’s response to this quite disturbing rejection” of the compensation claims from the Haitian cholera victims.
