Haiti's gang war and the crackdown against it are an unaccountable human catastrophe

This position holds that Haiti's gang war and the internationally backed drone campaign against the gangs are both inflicting a severe toll on civilians, including what rights groups call extrajudicial killings, and that no one is held accountable for the deaths or for the foreign governments that enable them. Its wording points to sexual violence, killings and the use of drones.

The position appears in the dispute over the collapse of the Haitian state, where a small group of six publishers, associated with the European Union, carries it. Its language draws on rights bodies such as Human Rights Watch and on UN special rapporteurs, and it speaks of complicity as well as of the crisis itself.

No competing position is recorded against it. The events of recent months that matched it say little directly about Haiti, so the position rests mainly on the claims of rights groups rather than on a visible run of events.
