A/HRC/25/71 to ensure respect for human rights is to set up its own programme to provide for reparation for the damage caused by the violations during the dictatorship. 66. A National Commission for Truth and Justice was created in 1995. Among other things, it proposed the establishment of a national commission to provide reparation for the damage suffered by thousands of victims of the coup of 30 September 1991.28 This recommendation has not yet been implemented. 66. As to the violations committed by private groups of supporters and opponents of President Aristide, most cases remain unpunished. Special measures are necessary to ensure the realization of the rights to truth, justice and reparation for the victims of these crimes. 67. Ending impunity for serious human rights violations committed in the past is an obligation, according to the constitutional and international commitments undertaken by the Haitian Government. The efforts made by the State to this end will be rewarded by greater public trust in its institutions. It is probably for these two reasons that the international community has insisted on this matter, both in monitoring the State’s commitments in the field of human rights, such as the universal periodic review,29 as well as in solidarity-based cooperation, such as that provided by UNASUR.30 E. Disasters and humanitarian situations 69. The Haitian people have recently undergone major disasters that have exacerbated the human rights situation and whose consequences warrant special attention. 70. The earthquake of 12 January 2010, Tropical Storm Isaac in August 2012 and Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 led to the displacement of 2 million people who were forced to settle in camps. In December 2013, the number of people in these camps decreased to about 146,573, according to the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM).31 71. In September 2013, the DTM recorded a 24 per cent decrease in the number of displaced persons (approximately 107,000 people) compared to the previous DTM of June 2013. The decrease is largely due to the Government’s decision to remove three shelters from the list of IDP sites: those of Canaan, Jerusalem and Onaville. These camps were removed on account of their characteristics; in fact they had become new neighbourhoods that required long-term urban planning. The decrease is also due to return programmes offering rental subsidies or other forms of support, implemented by different partners. 72. The majority of displaced persons (70.6 per cent) live in the three communes of Delmas, Port-au-Prince and Carrefour. It is estimated that only 72 sites are on public land, 28 29 30 31 GE.14-10841 Report of the independent expert, Mr. Louis Joinet, to the Commission on Human Rights (E/CN.4/2003/116), paras. 12 and 13.
