OAS Member States Issue Joint Statement In Support of Haiti

UNITED STATES – Thirty-three member states of the Organization of American States (OAS), including The Bahamas, Canada, the United States, and others, have reaffirmed their solidarity with Haiti and their commitment to supporting the country during what they describe as a quote,”grave security and institutional crisis.”

The governments pledged support for the implementation of the recently presented Haiti roadmap, a Haitian-led and internationally supported framework designed to restore stability and democratic governance.

Tribute was paid to Kenya for leading the MSS Mission, as well as to The Bahamas, Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Jamaica for contributing personnel.

The declaration concluded with a call for urgency: “today, we send a united hemispheric message: Haiti cannot wait, the time for decisive, coordinated action is now.”
