PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - IT was bad enough for the United Nations to bring cholera into earthquake-stricken Haiti via its troops. But to give itself legal immunity against victims’ claims for damages is simply outrageous. In just one sentence, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has severely damaged the confidence that the people of Haiti has reposed in the UN ever since the Duvalier dictatorship fell, making room for a greater UN presence in this Caribbean country. We therefore share the outrage expressed by former prime minister of Jamaica, Percival Patterson who, having served as CARICOM’s special adviser in Haiti in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, would know Haiti’s pain first-hand.
