On September 26, Edgard Leblanc Fils, President of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT), addressed the UN General Assembly, where he highlighted the long-standing impact of Haiti’s "independence debt" and the harm caused to the nation over the past two centuries, just before the bicentennial of King Charles X’s 1825 ordinance in 2025.

"I stand before this Assembly today as the voice of the Republic of Haiti, a nation whose history is inextricably linked to the ideals of freedom and justice that we all celebrate here. But Haiti, the first independent Black nation in the world, is also the great victim of a historical injustice that has not only delayed its development but has also burdened its people with a legacy that continues to impact them," declared Edgard Leblanc.
