Response to Henry "Chip" Carey
Submitted by Michael Deibert (not verified) on October 27, 2011 - 11:29am.
Dear Mr. Carey,
There was a 25 April 1995 decree that officially de-mobilized the FADH and basically offered a one-time payout to those who were being let go. And the Aristide made apublic announocement of the dissolution of the army on 28 April (see here: http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1995-04-29/news/9504290577_1_aristid...) That's always been the kind final benchmark that I used for the army's demobilization. As we see in this article, even then observers noted that disbanding the FADH permanently would require a constitutional amendment. It is shame that Mr. Aristide did not chose to go down the constitutional road in this instance. If he did so we wouldn'teven need to be having this conversation, I don't think.
In terms of MINUSTAH, my view is that it would be best for the UN to significantly refocus its mission in Haiti rather than just pack up and leave, but I found the hostility towards them relatively high when I was in Haiti the other month.
All best,
MD
