Description:

  • Jean Dominique entèvyouve Louis Joinet, yon jiris epi maton nan kesyon enpinite ki travay kòm ekspè endepandan nan Nasyonzini, sou enpinite, dwa moun, ak jistis an Ayiti. Pami lòt sijè, yo pale sou preparasyon masak Raboto a, sou enpòtans devwa memwa epi sou difikilte pou jwenn verite ak jistis lè dosye ak achiv ap disparèt tout tan, epi sou pwoblèm sistèm jidisyè Ayiti a. Joinet souliye se pa sèlman peyi Sid ki gen pwoblèm enpinite -- gen enpinite nan peyi swadizan "sivilize" ak demokratik, tou. Yo pale tou sou kontradiksyon aparan ki genyen nan Nasyonzini pa rapò avèk kesyon dwa moun -- pa egzanp, yo pa t di yon mo lè Etazini te anleve dokiman FRAPH yo.

  • Jean Dominique interviews Louis Joinet, a jurist and independent expert on impunity with the United Nations, about impunity, human rights, and justice in Haiti. Among other topics, they discuss preparations for the Raboteau trial, the importance of devoir de mémoire and the difficulty of achieving truth and justice when documents and archives regularly disappear, and the problems of the Haitian justice system. Joinet also emphasizes that the problem of impunity is not solely the province of countries in the Global South -- it is also an issue in so-called "civilized" and democratic countries. They also discuss the apparent contradictions in the United Nations' attitudes toward human rights -- for example, their lack of opposition to the United States' seizure of FRAPH documents from the coup years.

  • Jean Dominique rencontre Louis Joinet, juriste et expert indépendant des Nations Unies sur l’impunité, les droits humains et la justice en Haïti. Parmi d’autres sujets, ils abordent la préparation du procès du massacre de Raboteau, l’importance du devoir de mémoire et la difficulté de trouver la vérité et la justice lorsque les dossiers et les archives disparaissent régulièrement. Ils parlent aussi des problèmes du système judiciaire haïtien. Joinet souligne que ce ne sont pas seulement les pays du Sud qui ont des problèmes d’impunité – elle existe aussi dans les pays « civilisés » et démocratiques. Discussion sur les apparentes contradictions au sein des Nations Unies concernant les droits humains – par exemple, il n’y a eu aucune opposition quand les États-Unis ont saisi les documents du FRAPH durant le coup d’État.
