From January 2025 to October 2026, the Haitian press was informed of the publication of several reports produced by international institutions. These documents provide true snapshots of entire segments of Haitian society. Various experts paint very unflattering portraits of the country, its leaders, its political, economic, and intellectual elites, its institutions, and its public policy choices.<\/p>

The diagnoses are severe and very close to the truth. In some cases, Haitian authorities and institutions requested these evaluations, participated in, or were cited in the reports. Yet, to this day, it is difficult to find traces of corrective measures implemented to follow up on the various recommendations or to patch the breaches through which the vital sap of the country escapes.<\/p>

Among the verdicts in question, the most recent is the Final Report of the Group of Experts on Haiti presented in accordance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2794 (2025). The investigation focused on the period from October 2025 to July 2026. The report was communicated on July 24, 2026, to the Haiti Sanctions Committee of the Security Council established by Security Council Resolution 2653 (2022).<\/p>

The committee reviewed it on September 3, 2026. The 94-page text reached the general public on October 6, 2026.<\/p>

Coincidence or not, the devastating report for the political class, beyond the main figures indicted, explodes amid negotiations to ease the eligibility conditions for candidates wishing to participate in the upcoming elections.<\/p>

The electoral decree, in its third version, will reveal the choices the country intends to make for the upcoming vote. However, the scathing verdict of the report speaks volumes about our downfalls.<\/p>

The second significant report dates from June 2026 and comes from the World Bank. Titled "Haiti: Growth Trajectories in the Face of Increased Risks," the document examines the country's medium-term growth prospects in a context of increasing vulnerabilities.<\/p>

Those who have had the opportunity to consult the document believe that every presidential candidate, every political leader, every businessman, and every public official in the country should make it their bedside book.<\/p>

This time, the portrait does not highlight our politicians but our public policies. These chains of decisions that the country has been stacking for years without coherence or evidence of positive results.<\/p>

The economy and finance, among the determinants of growth, have been scrutinized. And the outcome is catastrophic.<\/p>

The third report is a governance diagnostic published in January 2025 by the International Monetary Fund. It is alarming and revealing for anyone seeking to understand the systemic and institutional causes of corruption in Haiti.<\/p>

Corruption appears as a central wound, and the report uncovers its mechanics. Reading the text leaves one with the feeling that the country is not seeking to extricate itself from this issue. And when considering the three reports together, a common logic emerges: the problems of the country are interconnected and mutually self-sustaining.<\/p>

As with several texts and decisions from the international community in recent years, the three reports mentioned above are likely to have no effect on the course of life in Haiti. They may not even elicit a response commensurate with the gravity of the findings. They will remain weighty labels and elements of charge that may, one day, have consequences.<\/p>

The three reports reveal, highlight, accuse, and announce a systemic collapse of Haiti if no corrective efforts are initiated. But for now, no one seems to feel concerned.
