The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) informs after evaluation of the violent events recorded on February 23, https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-30109-haiti-flash-clashes-in-champ-de-mars-at-least-a-dozen-victims-provisional-assessment.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-30102-haiti-flash-high-tension-at-champ-de-mars.html , that it has decided to maintain in Haiti (Hôtel Karibe) the 175th session period (March 2 to 8) as well as the hearings and working meetings (March 5 and 6).

The Commission welcomed the commitment of the Haitian Government to strengthen the security measures necessary for the smooth running of the sessions, and in particular of the participants. Commitment that was formalized in a written note in which the Government offered the IACHR security guarantees and transportation for all those participating in the session.

Recall that the IACHR is a principal and autonomous organ of the Organization of American States (OAS), whose mandate is to promote respect for and protection of human rights in the region and acts as an advisory body to the OAS in the matter. The Commission is composed of seven independent members elected by the General Assembly of the OAS in their personal capacity and who do not represent their country of origin or their country of residence.
