July 2025 Haiti Human Rights Update from IJDH

We just published the latest semi-annual Human Rights and the Rule of Law in Haiti: Key Recent Developments. The report is designed to provide the Haiti country condition information necessary to document asylum, convention against torture and other immigration cases. In fact, we regularly hear from immigration practitioners that IJDH's documentation was critical to them prevailing in asylum and CAT cases.

The report is comprehensively sourced- 506 footnotes-- and covers political violence and other violence by police, gangs and vigilante groups, prison conditions, healthcare, gender-based violence, deportations, land conflicts, governance, the Multinational Security Support Mission and the inability of the police and courts to protect or deter.

The IJDH team will start work soon on the next installment, likely out in January. If you have suggestions for improving these reports, or questions, please let me know!
