WORLD REPORT 2014In October, Jorge Vinicio Sosa Orantes, a former Guatemalan soldier whoallegedly participated in the Dos Erres massacre, was found guilty by a US courtof lying about his role in the incident on his application for US citizenship,which he received in 2008.The Pérez Molina government has asked the US to lift military aid restrictionsestablished in 1990. Some military aid was restarted nearly a decade ago. InApril, the US donated 42 armored vehicles to a new military-police task forceoperating close to the Mexican border.254
AMERICASHaitiElection delays, natural disasters, and the persistence of a deadly cholera epidemiccontinue to hinder the Haitian government’s efforts to meet the basicneeds of its people and address long-standing human rights problems, such asviolence against women and inhumane prison conditions.Postponement of national and local elections originally scheduled for 2011 continuedto foster political uncertainty and undermine the right to political participation.As of October, one-third of Senate seats remained vacant and the fateof another third was uncertain due to conflicting interpretations of a 2008 electorallaw. At the local level, terms for elected posts in 129 of the country’s 140municipalities also expired in 2011. The administration of President MichelMartelly filled these posts with political appointees in 2012. With prompting bythe United Nations and other international actors, Martelly convoked a specialsession of Parliament on November 22 to consider a draft electoral law for regulatingthe overdue elections. At time of writing, the session had not met.A wave of anti-government protests beginning in October led to confrontationsbetween protestors and Martelly supporters, which raised concerns about theresurgence of political violence in the country.As of June 2013, 280,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) were living incamps established in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, according to theUN. The International Organization for Migration estimated that of 71,000 displacedhouseholds, 57,000 have no prospect of IDP sites, while at least 21,000could face eviction. Nearly 1,200 households were evicted between January andJune, often with the involvement of the police or other government entities.The three-year-old cholera epidemic continues to claim lives, with an estimated8,500 people killed and 694,000 infected since October 2010. Damage causedby Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 and droughts affected harvests, contributingto high levels of food insecurity.255
