Canada sharing Haiti sanctions evidence with other countries: UN ambassador
Rae said sanctions from France would likely have a strong effect. He also noted that the neighbouring Dominican Republic is a haven for Haitian elites, but it lacks laws to sanction individuals.
“Our experience in Haiti has been that the sanctions have had a strong impact. And obviously, their impact is increased when other countries join in.” Former Haitian prime ministers Laurent Lamothe and Jean-Henry Ceant have both demanded that Canada reveal its reasoning, with both denying Ottawa’s claims that they have supported gangs. Lamothe has filed a claim in Federal Court, while Ceant asked the UN this week to intervene against Canada.
