A/HRC/4/3 page 15 − Assessment of the documents that the Haitian National Police holds on each individual being vetted; − Background check for criminal records; − Verification of any history of human rights violations; − Consideration, where necessary, of any public sources of information; − An interview with each police officer concerned; (d) An appeal procedure in cases of dismissal; (e) If, however, these various criteria have not led to dismissal, the police officer is given a report of the evaluation; (f) In the light of this report, he should undertake practical exercises, particularly in the field, at the end of which he takes a final examination held by the Directorate General of the Haitian National Police and the United Nations Civilian Police (UNCIVPOL) before the final certificate is issued. 43. The first 10 members of the General Inspectorate charged with implementing the vetting procedure are themselves currently undergoing this procedure. 44. In addition to these 10 officers, 14 other high-ranking central administration and management officials, including the Director-General and the Inspector General of the Haitian National Police are undergoing this procedure as a precautionary measure. 45. Furthermore, 10 other vetting agents will be trained during a second session planned for January/February 2007. 46. The aim is to begin vetting the first group of 250 officers of the Haitian National Police in January. While the procedure can be put in place without particular difficulties, other difficulties, which will not fail to arise, should not be underestimated; these include the need to provide sufficient logistical support, cooperation in good faith with the main partners involved and, above all, the protection of investigators. 47. With regard to the second measure, greater importance should be accorded to the General Police Inspectorate, by strengthening guarantees of its independence in order to establish its credibility and by providing it with the means to conduct more on-site investigations, particularly investigations into cases reported by local partners, such as the MINUSTAH Human Rights Section and NGOs, with the principal aim of combating the impunity that too many police officers still enjoy. 48. The establishment of an efficient - democratic and competent - police force, rather than the re-establishment of the army, seems to be the real challenge that will be worthy of the dignity of the Haitian people.
