The
Special Mission of the Organization of American States (OAS) to Haiti,
headed by the Chair of the Permanent Council, Ambassador of Antigua and
Barbuda, Sir Ronald Sanders, arrived in Port-au-Prince
on Sunday.
The Mission has so far met with President Michel Martelly and senior
members of the government, Senate President Jocelerme Privert, and
members of the various political parties in the Senate, as well as Lower
Chamber President Cholzer Chancy.
Ambassador Sanders says that
he “regards the conversations that the Mission has had so far as very
constructive, particularly because they are pointing towards a solution
to the present difficulty being reached by national stakeholders.”
He
also said the Mission “is in Haiti to speak to as many groups as
possible in order to assess the situation.” He stressed that “this
fact-finding mission is not in Haiti to interfere, meddle or mediate in
Haitian affairs.”
The delegation, including Senior Adviser to the
Secretary General, Gabriel Bidegain, and former Ambassador of Saint
Lucia to the OAS, Sonia Johnny, will present its findings to the
Permanent Council of the Organization of American States upon its return
to Washington.
