Statement of the Embassy of the United States on the Political Situation in Haiti


January 8, 2015
The United States Government is encouraged by the ongoing negotiations to resolve the current political impasse and strongly urges all parties to come to the table and work constructively to create a Haitian solution that leads to inclusive elections.  The US Government reaffirms its support for credible and transparent elections in Haiti which will require the participation of the full range of political parties.  Only through the participation of a broad spectrum of political parties can the choice of the Haitian people be accurately reflected on election day.  To that end, the USG already has in place a robust program to support the conduct of elections and the participation of the Haitian electorate, and pending approval from US Congress, the US Government is prepared to support additional measures for democratic political parties to play their part and participate fully in the electoral process.
