In Octo­ber 2010, cholera broke out in the Art­i­bonite region of Haiti. Accord­ing to Haiti’s Min­istère de la Santé Publique et de la Pop­u­la­tion,vthe dis­ease has infected over 457,582 peo­ple and claimed over 6,477 lives as of Octo­ber 2011. This request for relief and repa­ra­tions is filed on behalf of over 5,000 vic­tims of cholera in Haiti, who are the peti­tion­ers in this mat­ter (here­inafter “Peti­tion­ers”). The cholera out­break is directly attrib­ut­able to the neg­li­gence, gross neg­li­gence, reck­less­ness and delib­er­ate indif­fer­ence for the health and lives of Haiti’s cit­i­zens by the United Nations (“UN”) and its sub­sidiary, the United Nations Sta­bi­liza­tion Mis­sion in Haiti (“MINUSTAH”).
