On Saturday January 15, 2022, in a note, Me Renan Hedouville, Protector of Citizens and Director General of the Office for the Protection of Citizens (OPC), an independent national state institution for the promotion and protection of human rights, welcomed the vote of the US Congress dated January 13, 2022 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35717-haiti-flash-fbi-cia-and-the-dhs-will-open-an-investigation-into-the-assassination-of-president-moise.html ordering the State Department to open an investigation into the assassination of President Jovenel Moise on July 7, 2021 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-34162-haiti-flash-president-jovenel-moise-assassinated-by-mercenaries-official-updated-7am-+-video.html

"It is a very good decision given the transnational nature of the assassination of President Moïse and the major obstacles linked to this investigation led by a Haitian examining magistrate," underlines Hedouville who recalls that since August 2021, he had affirmed that the De facto Prime Minister, Dr. Ariel Henry was the main obstacle to the outcome of the investigation https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-34932-haiti-flash-the-supplementary-indictment-accusing-the-pm-has-mysteriously-disappeared.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-34724-haiti-assassination-of-the-president-the-office-of-citizen-protection-requests-the-resignation-of-pm.html adding "International mutual aid is therefore necessary or even indispensable."

Me Hedouville hopes that other international bodies can position themselves very clearly in favor of the outcome of the investigation into the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, "in order to fight impunity in Haiti in the face of a judicial system, headed by the Conseil Supérieur du Pouvoir Judiciaire (CSPJ), which, in large part, far from rendering justice to the victims, protects and whitewashes criminals, bandits and kidnappers wanted by the police."
