Canada has sanctioned 15 of Haiti’s political and economic elite, accusing them of emboldening gangs
Ottawa is sharing confidential dossiers in a bid to convince countries like France to join its efforts to sanction Haiti’s elites, says Canada’s ambassador to the United Nations.
The gangs have reportedly killed and kidnapped hundreds, while filling a power vacuum in a country led by politicians whose terms have expired. No elections have been held since before the COVID-19 pandemic. Most countries have opted to follow a United Nations process to identify people affiliated with gangs who should be subject to sanction. It has listed just one person since October – gang federation leader Jimmy Cherizier, known locally as “Barbecue.”
“It is with a sense of great urgency that France calls on the international community to redouble its efforts.” To that end, Rae said Canada has been giving the UN sanctions committee and other countries the evidence that Ottawa has used in its decision-making.
