Haiti Abandons Constitutional Reform Efforts
Haiti's transitional government has ended its project to replace the 1987 Constitution due to mounting violence, international pressure, and criticism over wasted funds.
The Presidential Transitional Council (CPT) and government have dissolved the Steering Committee for the National Conference and Constitutional Referendum, canceling the planned referendum just four months before the CPT's mandate expires.
- Pressure for elections
- Rising violence
- Criticism over wasted funds
The decision ends more than a year of consultations, public forums, and political debates that cost millions of gourdes.
The move comes as the CPT's mandate is set to expire in February, and the country faces ongoing challenges.
