A/HRC/31/77 E. Humanitarian crises linked to other factors having an impact on human rights 78. The fifth aspect, which stands in the way of many Haitians being able to enjoy their human rights, is composed of violations stemming from other factors, such as forced displacement in the wake of natural catastrophe, statelessness and the cholera epidemic. (a) Priority action for displaced persons 79. Some 60,000 people are still living in camps that were set up for displaced persons after the 2010 earthquake. Efforts must continue to be deployed to ensure that these people have the means to live decently. At the time of the Independent Expert’s third visit, in March 2015, the total number had been 80,000. There is no denying the progress made, but it must be maintained and indeed increased in order to find long-term, decent housing solutions without further delay for the many families who are still living in harsh conditions in these camps six years after the earthquake. 80. Resources made available through Canadian cooperation will be administered by the International Organization for Migration to meet the needs of these 60,000 individuals. That is very welcome news in the face of this dramatic situation. 81. The people sheltered in these camps continue to live in constant threat of being forcibly evicted by the property owners, which represents a further menace to their already flouted rights. The Independent Expert again echoes the call made by the Human Rights Committee to the Government to the effect that it ensure that no one is evicted from a camp unless some other solution has been found for the person and his or her family and ensure that all those displaced by the earthquake receive a long-term solution for their housing situation (CCPR/C/HTI/CO/1, para. 18). (b) Statelessness and the rights of Haitians and persons of Haitian origin migrating from the Dominican Republic 82. In his previous mission, the Independent Expert had accorded special attention to the situation of Haitians and persons of Haitian origin leaving the Dominican Republic for Haiti. During his visits to Haiti, the Independent Expert heard accounts of acts of discrimination that had targeted persons of Haitian origin in the Dominican Republic. The Independent Expert wishes to express his solidarity with the people of Haiti on this matter and repeats the call made to the Haitian authorities that an agreement be reached with the Dominican authorities to ensure that the rights of persons of Haitian origin are respected and to end the discrimination and risk of statelessness to which these individuals are exposed. (i) Returnee camp at Anse-à-Pitres 83. In September, the Independent Expert went to Anse-à-Pitres, located in southern Haiti on the border with the Dominican Republic. Some 2,500 persons were living there in five separate camps in very harsh conditions: tents made of cardboard and plastic, no food or safe drinking water, no appropriate sanitation. This posed (and continues to pose) a risk for the spread of diseases such as cholera. The camp visited by the Independent Expert had two latrines for roughly 500 persons. Children and adolescents had nowhere to study. Some residents were making charcoal by gathering wood from nearby areas, which had led to noticeable deforestation. There were no health-care services and most of the people had no identity documents. 84. The local mayor’s office and a committee made up of NGOs and cooperation agencies were doing what they could to help camp residents. There was talk of moving the GE.16-01946 15
