On May 19, 2026, the CARICOM Eminent Persons Group (EPG) issued a formal public clarification to the people of Haiti, addressing widespread confusion over its alleged ties to a prominent new political proposal being advanced in the country. In the statement, the regional body explicitly distanced itself from the ‘Washington-Haiti-CARICOM Socio-Political Relief Solution’, an initiative organized by the Consensus des Assises du Dialogue Inter-Haïtien (CADIH). The EPG made clear that it had no role, official or unofficial, in developing or advancing this specific political framework, pushing back against circulating claims that linked the regional group to the proposal. Beyond the clarification, the EPG reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to supporting Haiti through its established Good Offices mandate. The group emphasized that it will remain focused on its core mission: aiding the Haitian transitional government and all national stakeholders in their collective efforts to pull the country out of ongoing instability, strengthen foundational good governance practices, create the conditions for free, fair and inclusive national elections to be held at the earliest possible date, and fully restore legitimate constitutional order across Haiti. The statement comes amid a prolonged period of political and security upheaval in Haiti, where multiple local and international actors have put forward competing proposals to resolve the country’s deep-rooted crisis, making clear public distinctions between different initiatives a critical step to avoiding further public confusion.
