- It is “critical” that Haiti hold a delayed vote and strengthen the rule of law and human rights, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told President Jovenel Moise on Sunday at a meeting after more than six months of rule by decree in the Caribbean nation. Haiti has been without a parliament since January after missing a deadline to hold legislative elections. Moise has yet to set a date for new elections.
“It is critical that Haiti schedule its overdue legislative elections, form an inclusive , and strengthen rule of law and support for human rights. These are key elements of the democratic process,” Pompeo said in a tweet after the meeting.“Like me, our American partners believe that elections remains the ideal way for democracy to survive,” Moise tweeted.
“We’re trying to build a little bit of a fire there,” Kozak said. “If you’re going to have a democracy, that means all three branches of the democracy need to be in place. It can’t just be one or two.”
