In the face of Haiti’s multidimensional crisis, the Coordination Europe-Haiti (CoEH) calls on the European Union to fully assume its historical, political, and moral responsibility. The unprecedented deterioration of the security, institutional, and humanitarian situation threatens not only the survival of the Haitian people but also the stability of the entire region. This crisis is partly rooted in a colonial past marked by exploitation and injustice – most notably the ransom imposed by France in 1825, backed by other European powers, which deprived Haiti of the means for sustainable development. Today, Europe cannot remain indifferent or rely solely on short-term or security-driven responses. It must stand with Haitian civil society, support local initiatives for transformation, and promote cooperation based on justice, sovereignty, and human rights. Through this appeal, the CoEH urges the European Union to demonstrate political courage and concrete solidarity with Haiti and its people.
