UN should apologize for #cholera in #Haiti http://crofsblogs.typepad.com/h5n1/2012/08/thinktank-un-should-apologize-for-cholera-in-haiti.html ❝A thinktank called the International Crisis Group has released a report titled Towards a Post-MINUSTAH Haiti: Making an Effective Transition. Excerpt from the executive summary and recommendations: To the UN Secretary-General: ... 5.  Respond to the cholera epidemic by:  a) apologising for the perceived failures of some units to appropriately dispose of human waste in relation to the cholera epidemic, regardless of ongoing scientific disputes as to the devastating epidemic’s origins;  b) directing that MINUSTAH undertake further actions in conjunction with the Haitian government to reduce the short-term spread of the disease prioritising vaccination in remote areas, access to drinking water, and treatment;  c) convening additional donors’ commitment to the ten-year comprehensive water and sanitation infrastructure investment project now recommended by the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO)/ World Health Organization (WHO) and the health ministries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic; and  d) reporting to the Security Council on the pace of implementation of the recommendations of the expert group on cholera for all peacekeeping missions. Somehow I don't think a "Sorry about that" for "perceived failures," plus vague promises of more money for sanitation, will quite make up for half a million cholera cases and over 7,000 deaths.❞ #nations_unies #minustah #santé

Haïti au temps du #choléra - par JEAN MÉTELLUS médecin haïtien, ANTOINE-FRITZ PIERRE médecin haïtien, DANIEL TALLEYRAND médecin haïtien http://www.liberation.fr/monde/01012388034-haiti-au-temps-du-cholera ❝depuis que la #Minustah est installée en #Haïti, on aurait pu espérer qu’elle contribue de façon significative à l’amélioration de ces conditions. Or, c’est tout le contraire qui s’est produit. Par négligence, sans doute. Mais peut-être aussi par mépris envers les populations que cette force internationale devait protéger. Nous pensons que l’#ONU doit montrer au monde entier qu’elle croit à ce qu’elle dit et qu’elle sait s’appliquer à elle-même les idéaux prônés par sa charte quand elle commet involontairement des faux pas.❞ #santé #histoire
