Human rights group gives UN deadline
May 09, 2013
NEW YORK, CMC – A United States-based human rights group has given the United Nations 60 days to reach a compensation deal or face a legal lawsuit from victims of Haiti's cholera epidemic.
The United Nations has already indicated it is legally immune from legal action over the epidemic that afflicted some half a million people.
But the Boston-based Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti said it is ready to open legal proceedings in New York with claims totalling billions of dollars unless the United Nations adhered to the deadline.
