Overview

IJDH/BAI fight for the human rights of Haitians wher­ever vio­la­tions occur. We work to push the jus­tice sys­tem to inves­ti­gate dis­ap­pear­ances and assas­si­na­tions, most notably in the cases of Pierre Lovinsky-Antoine and Jean Dominique. We pros­e­cute human rights vio­la­tors in Hait­ian and inter­na­tional courts and have been suc­cess­ful in the cases of FRAPH leader Emmanuel Con­stant, Colonel Carl Dore­lien and other mil­i­tary and para­mil­i­tary who reigned dur­ing the 1991–1994 coup period. We also seek hold the UN and the Hait­ian police account­able for exces­sive and arbi­trary use of force against inno­cent civilians.
