Is there hope for Haiti? A system of failure?

Since the mid twentieth century, Haiti has fallen in the hands of corruption, a bad judicial system —like during the dictatorship governments— and also several problems to the infrastructure for reasons of mother nature. This problems have been approached with the intervention of the United Nations Mission in Haiti. Aid to Haiti is vital for many purposes, including economic development, disaster relief and providing public goods, such as education and healthcare, where the government cannot. This is why I do not believe that education to fight corruption is the most appropriate strategy to help with the problems of Haiti.

The Security Council of the United Nations, countries discuss which would be the best topic for REESTABLISHMENT OF THE JUDICIAL BRANCH IN HAITI among other topics like the corruption in official bodies. Within these, one can hear the proposals of countries such as the United States, who defend the idea of ​​making some changes to the constitution of Haiti in order to improve the system; or Brazil, who proposes an independent judicial system of resources. However, Latin American countries such as Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Haiti, believe that dealing with infrastructure and education problems, among others, are the first topics that have to be addressed in order to create trust among the citizens in Haiti.

In my opinion, I would like to emphasize then on the education proposal to end corruption supported by countries such as South Korea, United Kingdom and Holland. Is it the real solution? It is always said that education is the meant to fight poverty and violence, among many other topics. And there is no doubt it is. However, in this case, it is not through education that corruption is going to end, it is through tools such as transparency and democracy that can end one of Haiti's great problems, which is corruption and reliability of citizens to their government. Certainly, education is a great proposal to solve other problems in a context different than Haiti.

In conclusion, it is possible that, up to this moment, they are not listening to the affected country, as well as to its neighboring countries. Certainly, all the countries present want the best for the good development of the mission in Haiti, but is it really enough to improve the situation in this country or do all the proposals really violate the principles and autonomy of Haiti?
