RNDDH òganizasyon kap fè pwomosyon ak defans dwa moun, rekonèt tout moun libè pou yo chwazi oryantasyon seksyèl yo oubyen fom seksyalite yo vle daprès prinsip dwa moun sou kesyon sa a ki nan Prensipalman deklarasyon inivèsèl dwa moun ak pak ako entènasyonal sou dwa sivil ak politik yo.

RNDDH konstate genyen plizyè fòm seksyalite, men genyen yon ki dominan. Reyalite sa a pa bay okenn moun oubyen sektè dwa pou yo pa rekonèt lòt fòm seksyalite nan kondane yo paske yo pa bon oubyen yo pa moral.

RNDDH ap poze tèt li kesyon sou pale anpil ki chita sou zen kap fèt sou oryantasyon seksyèl pwemye minis deziye a, madam Michele Duvivier Pierre Louis, prezidan peyi chwazi pou vin n premye minis.

RNDDH ap mande pou ki sa pawol sa yo pat janm pale sou oryantasyon seksyèl anpil gwo reskonsab ki te nan leta kite gen gwo bri ki tap kouri sou yo.

Èske se paske se gason yo te ye ki lakoz pawol sa yo pat pale? RNDDH ap raple sosyete a, si nou vle konstwi yon demokrasi tout bon, fèk nou respekte tout dwa moun genyen. Tan kou :

  Dwa sante, lojman, manje, pale, patisipe nan zafè peyi a, ak dwa oryantasyon seksyèl.

  RNDDH kwè oryantasyon seksyèl yon moun pa genyen anyen poul wè ak konpetans, kapasite, moralite pou l okipe yon fonksyon nan leta. Se pito oryantasyon ak vizyon l, pou l fè respekte dwa moun ki enpòtan.

  RNDDH ap sonje palmantè nou yo, yo pa la pou pase dwa moun anba pye ; men yo la pito pou yo mete kanpe bonjan estrikti pou pèmèt dwa moun respekte. Kidonk, palmantè nou yo pa genyen pou konsidere zen kap fèt sou oryantasyon seksyèl yon kandida pou primye minis, pou di li pa moral.

  Konsa, RNDDH ap fè palmantè nou yo sonje, leta genyen obligasyon pou garanti dwa moun san patipri (obligasyon san diskriminasyon) sou baz : koulè, sèks, ras oswa orijin sosyal.

Pou lòt moun ki te premye minis, Minis ki te gen bri kap kouri sou do yo, sou oryantasyon seksyèl, yo pat janm genyen gwo pale anpil sa yo ki fèt sou sa.

  Konsa, yo pa dwe poze kesyon sou zen kap bouyi sou oryantasyon seksyèl kandida paske l se yon fi. Keksyon lòt fòm seksyalite a ekziste deja toupatou nan peyi a. Bri kouri sou anpil moun ki se gason, pa janm gen deba ki fèt sou yo.

  Kidonk, li parèt aklè se pa yon deba sou oryantasyon seksyèl, se pito yon deba ki genyen pou l wè ak diskriminasyon seksyèl.

  RNDDH panse fòk sosyete fini ak mannyè ipokrit sa a, paske ipokrizi pap ede nou respekte dwa moun; okontrè lap ankouraje vyole yo.

RNDDH, an organization that promotes and defends human rights, recognizes the liberty each person has to choose their sexual orientation or the sexuality they desire according to the corresponding principles of human rights. These principles primarily include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Pact for Civil and Political Rights.

RNDDH notes that there are numerous forms of sexuality, but one that is dominant. This reality does not grant any person or sector the right to deny other forms of sexuality by condemning them, claiming they are not good or moral.

RNDDH questions the debate surrounding the sexual orientation of the designated Prime Minister.

RNDDH asks why this debate has never before occurred regarding the sexual orientation of the many other dignitaries who have held high positions within the State, though there was talk surrounding them.

Is it because the others were men that this question was not raised? RNDDH reminds Haitian society that if we want to build a proper democracy, we must respect all rights of others. For example:

  The right to health, a home, food, speech, and participation in the country's affairs along with the right to sexual orientation.

  RNDDH believes that the sexual orientation of a person has no relation to the competency, capacity, or morality a person needs to hold a position with the State. It is, rather, the politics and vision of a person that lead him/her to respect human rights that is important.

  RNDDH reminds Parliament that they are not in their positions to violate human rights, but rather to guarantee human rights. Thus, Parliament has no reason to consider the talk surrounding the sexual orientation of a candidate for the position of Prime Minister, has no reason to claim that he/she is immoral.

 Therefore, RNDDH reminds Parliament that the State has an obligation to guarantee human rights without regard (an obligation without discrimination) to: color, sex, race, religion, or social status.

Others who have served as Prime Minister, Ministers who have been surrounded by rumors regarding their sexual orientation, have never had to tolerate this.

 As such, Parliament has never posed questions regarding the rumors surrounding the sexual orientation of a candidate because she is female.

 Questions of other forms of sexuality have existed throughout the country. Rumors have spread regarding many men, but there has never been a debate carried out about such matters.

 Therefore, it seems clear that this is not a debate regarding sexual orientation, but rather this is a debate whose roots are in sex discrimination.

 RNDDH believes that the Haitian society must end with this hypocrisy because hypocrisy will not help us to respect human rights; on the contrary, it will only encourage the violation of human rights.

Le Réseau National de Défense des Droits Humains (RNDDH) prend note d'une vague de protestations contre la cherté de la vie, qui déferle sur le pays depuis le début du mois d'avril 2008.

Les revendications du peuple haïtien consistent en la réduction des prix des produits de première nécessité et en l'accès au droit à l'alimentation, un droit fondamental que tout gouvernement a le devoir de garantir.

Toutefois, le RNDDH déplore le fait que ces mouvements de protestation, aussi légitimes soient-ils, soient émaillés d'actes de violences, de vols et de pillages. Ces actes sont inacceptables au sein d'une société démocratique.

Le RNDDH désapprouve les attaques perpétrées contre Télé Haïti, le journal Le Matin, Radio Vision 2000, etc. et contre certains journalistes, victimes dans l'exercice de leurs fonctions. Le RNDDH attire l'attention de tous notamment des manifestants et des forces de l'ordre, qu'ils ont intérêt à protéger la liberté d'expression, symbolisée par la Presse et les journalistes.

Le RNDDH condamne le manque de professionnalisme enregistré du côté des forces de l'ordre dans la protection des droits et des biens des citoyens. Les forces de l'ordre se sont rendues responsables de mauvais agissements contre la population civile, occasionnant ainsi plusieurs cas de décès et de blessés par balles, particulièrement dans la ville des Cayes et des cas de blessés à Port-au-Prince devant le Palais National. En présentant ses sympathies à toutes les victimes de ces événements et à leurs familles, le RNDDH souhaite ardemment que les responsables de ces actes de pillage, de vols, de viols, de meurtres, et d'utilisation abusive de la force, soient arrêtés et déférés par devant la justice afin de répondre de leurs actes, quelque soit leur accointance et leur degré de responsabilité dans la société.

Le RNDDH attire l'attention du pouvoir exécutif et du Parlement haïtien sur le fait que ces mouvements de protestation résultent de l'application de la politique néolibérale par ce gouvernement. Aujourd'hui, Il y a donc nécessité pour le pouvoir de revoir son orientation économique, de cesser de se faire dicter sa conduite par le Fonds Monétaire International et la Banque Mondiale, mais d'appliquer une politique économique sociale prenant en compte les revendications et les intérêts de la population : la prise de mesures efficaces en vue de baisser le coût de la vie, la création de travaux à haute intensité de main d'œuvre, le renforcement et le soutien de la production nationale, la cessation des gabegies dans l'administration étatique, le combat contre la corruption et l'impunité au sein de l'Etat sont autant de solutions pouvant éviter la répétition de tels mouvements.

RNDDH acknowledges the large protest movement the Haitian people are conducting throughout the country to reclaim their right to eat and their right to access to the basic goods used every day. RNDDH considers this reclamation legitimate.

The right to eat is a fundamental right that any respectable government must guarantee for its citizens.

At the same time, RNDDH deplores that this protest movement is accompanied by numerous acts of violence, of theft, of pillage. These violent acts are not acceptable in a democratic society.

RNDDH condemns the attacks against the press, such as TeleHaiti and the newspaper Le Matin, along with the journalists who were victim while carrying out their work. RNDDH reminds those demonstrating along with those responsible for maintaining order that they must protect the freedom of speech that the press and journalists represent.

RNDDH condemns any lack of professionalism by those responsible for maintaining order, whether through a lack of protecting the rights and well-being of citizens or through improperly acting against the civil population, injuring many with bullets most notably in the town of Aux Cayes and in front of the National Palace in Port-au-Prince.

RNDDH deplores the fact that many demonstrators, principally those in Aux Cayes, lost their lives through conditions that are not clear.

RNDDH extends its condolences to all those who were victim during these events.

RNDDH hopes that those who participate in pillaging, theft, destruction, those who use guns without thought, and those who abuse their force will answer to justice for the acts they committed, no matter what their rank in society or institution they are a part of.

RNDDH asks the president of the Republic along with the government and Haitian parliament to consider that it is the application of Neoliberal policies that is the cause of this protest movement.

Today, those in power must do whatever is necessary to change the economic orientation, to stop taking orders from the IMF and the World Bank. Institute a social economic policy that takes into account the claims of the mass population.

Create jobs. Take effective measure to lower the cost of living. Stop the waste in the state administration. Fight corruption and impunity in the state.

RNDDH pran nòt sou vas mouvman pwotestasyon pèp ayisyen an fè nan tout peyi a pou revandike dwa pou yo manje, dwa pou yo genyen aksè ak pwodwi moun itilize chak jou. RNDDH konsidere revandikasyon sa yo lejitim.

Dwa pou moun manje se yon dwa fondamantal, tout gouvènman ki respekte tèt li fèt pou garanti sitwayen l.

Sepandan, RNDDH deplore mouvman pwotestasyon sa a ki akonpaye anpil zak vyolans, vòl, ak piyay. Zak vyolans sa yo pa akseptab nan yon sosyete demokratik.

RNDDH ap pwofite kondane atak ki fèt kont laprès tankou teleAyiti, jounal Lematen, ak jounalis ki viktim nan egzèsis fonksyon yo. RNDDH ap raple manifestan yo ak fòs lòd yo ke tout moun genyen enterè pou pwoteje libète lapawòl ke laprès ak jounalis yo senbolize.

RNDDH kondane tout mank pwofesyonalis fòs lòd yo sou kesyon pwoteksyon dwa ak byen sitwayen yo epi nan move ajisman yo fè kont popilasyon sivil la ki okazyone anpil blese pa bal patikilyèman nan vil Okay ak devan Palè Nasyonal nan Pòtoprens.

RNDDH deplore sitiyasyon sa a, kote plizyè manifestan pèdi la vi yo prensipalman nan vil Okay nan kondisyon ki pa klè.

RNDDH voye senpati l bay tout moun ki viktim pandan evenmann sa a.

RNDDH swete moun ki patisipe nan zak piyay, vòl ak kraze brize, moun ki genyen gachèt fasil ak moun ki itilize abitrèman lafòs ap genyen pou reponn devan la jistis pou zak ke yo komèt kèlkeswa ran yo nan sosyete a epi kèlkeswa kò yo apatyen an.

RNDDH ap mande présidan repiblik la, gouveneman an, ak palman ayisyen an pou yo pran konsyans ke se aplikasyon politik Neoliberal la ki kòz kòkenn chenn mouvman protestasyon sa a.

Ki donk, genyen nesesite jounen jodi a pou pouvwa a chanje oryantasyon ekonomik, sispann pran dikte nan men FMI ak Bank Mondyal, aplike yon politik ekonomik sosyal ki pran an konsiderasyon revandikasyon mas pèp la.

Kreye travay, pran mezi efikas pou bese kou lavi a. Sispann fè gaspiy nan administrasyon leta a. Konbat tout bon vre zak kòripsyon ak enpinite nan leta a.
