Dublin - Haiti could easily turn into a "nightmare" once again if the international community does not press for reforms to safeguard the country's fledgling democracy, a delegation of visiting human rights activists has warned, writes Paul Cullen. Members of the National Coalition for Haitian Rights will today urge the Department of Foreign Affairs to use its influence within the EU to help sustain police and justice reforms within Haiti.
According to Mr Jocelyn McCalla, director of the NCHR, the EU's involvement in Haiti has been marked by "a lot of wastefulness and hand-holding".
