Haiti on the Brink: Six Urgent Measures to Overcome the Human Rights Crisis

The crisis in Haiti has reached a critical moment. Criminal groups that kill, rape, and kidnap at will are terrorizing residents, bringing transportation, health care, education, and the delivery of much-needed humanitarian assistance to a near standstill across much of the country. Urgent action is needed to restore basic security that will allow for the return of democratic governance so people can freely exercise their human rights and basic freedoms. That will also require the restoration of the rule of law and access to essential goods and services.
