Bilateral posture, key relationships, and live diplomatic statements.
Foreign Policy
Haiti's foreign policy is heavily constrained by its domestic crises and dependence on international aid and diaspora remittances. It is a member of CARICOM and La Francophonie, and maintains important bilateral relationships with the United States, France, Canada, and the Dominican Republic.
Haiti advocates for international support for stabilisation, development assistance, and addressing the root causes of migration. The question of French reparations for the indemnity Haiti was forced to pay after independence (effectively a 'freedom tax') has gained renewed international attention.
MUN Delegate Guide
As Haiti, you carry the moral weight of the first successful slave revolution and the hemisphere's most desperate humanitarian crisis. Use Haiti's history to speak with authority on colonialism, reparations, and racial justice.
The cholera scandal gives you a legitimate grievance against the UN itself -- use it to demand accountability and reform of peacekeeping operations. Advocate for a Haitian-led stabilisation process rather than externally imposed solutions.
Coordinate with CARICOM and Francophone African states. Push for the French reparations debate -- Haiti's forced payment to France after independence is one of history's greatest injustices. On development, emphasise that Haiti needs structural investment, not just emergency relief.
