NATIONAL EASTER CONVENTION 2024
In the year 2024, March 31, Easter Day;
Alarmed by the rapid deterioration of the general situation in the country since the heinous assassination of President Jovenel Moïse;
Disgusted by the suffering of the population, affected by acts of terrorism, famine, epidemics, and suffering from the absence of basic public services;
Conscious of the almost total collapse of the administrative, political and representative structures of State Powers;
Outraged by the unorthodox steps taken by CARICOM with certain Haitian sectors to impose on the Nation a Presidential Council of nine members to ensure the functions of the State;
Considering the public positions taken by the moral, religious, trade union, professional, peasant, cultural, sporting and political forces of the country and the diaspora, declaring not to associate themselves with the CARICOM initiative for the formation of a Presidential Council of nine members;
Considering that recourse to the Court of Cassation constitutes today the only viable, legal constitutional alternative capable of bringing together Haitian stakeholders towards a peaceful resolution of the crisis;
The undersigned, Haitian citizens, gathered in extraordinary assembly on this Easter Sunday, adopted by broad consensus the following NATIONAL CONVENTION:
A Judge of the Court of Cassation, regularly appointed before the presidential vacancy of July 2021, assumes the Provisional Presidency of the Republic and will be invested in his functions by the Judicial Power and the Ministerial Cabinet currently in office. The Provisional President of the Republic must guarantee the continuity of the State, enforce the laws of the Republic as well as the international conventions and treaties of which Haiti is a signatory. Within 48 hours of being sworn in, the Provisional President of the Republic, in consultation with Haitian stakeholders, appoints a consensus Prime Minister to form an inclusive Government of National Unity, with an Exception Ministerial Cabinet of Mission . Within 72 hours of its inauguration, the Government of the Republic adopts in the Council of Ministers a road map established with Haitian stakeholders to define the mission and duration of the transition, giving priority to security, adoption of urgent measures in favor of the most disadvantaged populations, and the strengthening of the State through institutional reforms with a view to holding credible general elections. The undersigned appeal to the patriotism of all, putting aside personal interests to save the Nation from imminent shipwreck. They ask the population to remain vigilant and mobilized to defend the constitution, a symbol of national sovereignty.
Finally, the undersigned ask international partners to commit concretely alongside the Haitian people and to support the new Haitian leaders resulting from the will of a large national majority to succeed in this refounding transition, guaranteeing the restoration of a STATE OF RIGHT.
This CONVENTION is adopted and will be notified to the Haitian stakeholders and the international community, to bring out its effects in accordance with the law.
For the monitoring of this Convention, the Military Association of Haiti, a century-old institution, apolitical and recognized as being of public utility, will constitute an Ad Hoc Secretariat of five members.
