The OAS Says It Is Ready to Support Haiti for Security and Elections

Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé received this Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at the Prime Minister's Office, the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert R. Ramdin, for a high-level meeting focused on security and the electoral process.

This meeting comes as the government is stepping up initiatives to try and stabilize the country, which is marked by the persistent grip of armed groups, a fragile humanitarian situation, and a strong expectation of a return to constitutional order.

During the discussions, the head of government presented to his interlocutor the « significant progress » made in the fight against insecurity. He particularly emphasized the strengthening of mechanisms put in place to counter gang activity and the operational reinforcement of national forces. The Prime Minister also called for increased support from OAS member states, particularly to back the Gang Repression Force (FRG), which he considers a central tool of the national security strategy.

The meeting was also an opportunity for Alix Didier Fils-Aimé to announce the adoption and publication of the Electoral Decree, presented as an essential step towards holding elections deemed indispensable for re-establishing constitutional order.

Albert R. Ramdin welcomed this progress, which he described as a « concrete step » towards organizing credible and inclusive elections. The Secretary General reaffirmed the OAS's commitment to Haiti, both in supporting the electoral process and in backing institutional stabilization efforts.

The Prime Minister also highlighted the humanitarian dimension of the crisis, mentioning populations affected by armed violence and the deterioration of living conditions. He requested OAS support for the implementation of reintegration programs, community support, and the restoration of the social fabric.

According to the OAS, the government's efforts in security and governance are encouraging signs. The organization states it is ready to continue its support to Haiti in the security, institutional, and humanitarian fields.

This Tuesday's meeting illustrates the stated willingness of both parties to strengthen their strategic partnership, in a context where the success of the electoral process and the restoration of security are considered indispensable conditions for a return to stability.
