International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organizations (ICMLPO)

Resolution in Solidarity with the People of Haiti

By decision of the United Nations Security Council, Haiti has been militarily occupied by MINUSTAH since June 1, 2004.

This occupation is carried out with the excuse that it is a humanitarian mission that aims to "stabilize the country", but what it really seeks is to prevent the Haitian people from exercising their sovereignty and right to self-determination.

After 10 years of occupation, Haiti finds itself in a serious political and institutional situation, with a marked regression of democratic rights and a permanent state of violent repression of popular demonstrations for social, economic and political demands.

MINUSTAH also guarantees the entry of capital from multinational companies that take over strategic areas of the economy such as mega-mining, luxury tourism, agro-exports, and maquilas.

The United States, France and Canada direct the intelligence and strategic planning of the occupation, and the most regrettable thing is that Latin American governments that claim to be democratic, such as those of Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and El Salvador, maintain occupation troops over a sister country and people.

The majority of the Haitian people, 89% according to a poll, reject the occupation and they are systematically mobilizing to demand an immediate end to it.

The International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organizations supports the people of Haiti in this demand and calls on its members and the peoples of Latin America to express in a militant manner their solidarity with this people who began in the Americas the struggle for independence from European colonialism, especially from France.

The ICMLPO will develop a campaign of solidarity with Haiti in coordination with the revolutionary organizations of that country, on the occasion of the 211th anniversary of the independence of that fraternal people.
