The Support Group for Returnees and Refugees (GARR) draws the attention of the State and the public to the state of unbridled degradation of human rights in Haiti, in particular with the deterioration of the climate of insecurity in the country.

In addition, the expulsion this year of several tens of thousands of migrants, mainly by the United States, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, the Bahamas, Mexico, and other countries in the region has only exacerbated the already critical Human Rights situation.

Le Gaar deplores the fact that no reintegration program for these returning populations has been initiated or supervised by the State.

The rights of repatriated and/or expelled people have been doubly violated, first as migrants who have been victims of various violations of their rights and then as Haitian citizens returned to the country which struggles to welcome them with dignity.

In addition, faced with the hardening of the migration policy by the Dominican authorities, the GARR fears, from January (end of the ultimatum to regularize Haitian workers https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35047-haiti-flash-dr-90-day-ultimatum-for-haitian-workers.html ) to new waves of massive repatriationhttps://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-35140-icihaiti-dr-tens-of-thousands-of-haitian-workers-in-an-irregular-situation-risk-deportation-in-january-2022.html who are often marred by human rights violations.

Faced with this gloomy picture, the organization calls for raising awareness among state actors and those in civil society on the urgent need for a recovery in the human rights situation in Haiti.
