In a note, Sandra Honoré, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the other members of the "Core Group" (the Ambassadors of Brazil, Canada, France, Spain, the United States of America and the European Union, and the Special Representative of the Organization of American States) "deplore the inability of the Parliament, during the session of the National Assembly on June 28, to exercise its responsibility in keeping with Article 7 of the 5 February Accord.

The 'Core Group' urges all Parliamentarians to resume the session of the National Assembly, without further delay in order to put an end to the political uncertainty prevailing since 14 June and to ensure the pursuit of the electoral process. The “Core Group” appeals to all the political actors to contribute to creating conditions conducive to these goals."

Let's recall that the Agreement of February 5 was intended to ensure institutional continuity at the end of the mandate of President Martelly and in the absence of a new President elected on that date. The appointment of the provisional President, Jocerlerme Privert, was held on February 14, 2016. Article 7 of the agreement stipulates that the mandate of the provisional President is up to 120 days (under the Constitution) from the date of installation https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-16533-haiti-politic-the-details-of-the-agreement-from-a-to-z.html

Mid-June, the "Core Group" was concerned about the lack of measures taken to ensure institutional continuity beyond June 13, at the end of the 120-days period and asked the Haitian National Assembly to reach a solution that avoids an institutional vacuum https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-17751-haiti-diplomacy-the-core-group-concerned-about-the-institutional-vacuum.html
