Port-au-Prince, 22 November 2018 – The Core Group (composed of the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General, the Ambassadors of Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, the European Union, the United States of America, and the Special Representative of the Organization of American States) firmly rejects the acts of violence perpetrated in the last days.

The members of the group are deeply saddened by the loss of human lives and convey their sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims.

The group recalls that acts of violence seeking to provoke the resignation of legitimate authorities have no place in the democratic process. The Core Group welcomes the Executive's commitment to pursue dialogue and calls for an inclusive consultation among all relevant national actors in order to emerge from the crisis that the country is going through and meet the expectations of the population.
