Haiti–Diplomacy: Ambassador Myrtha Désulmé Applauded for Her Role in the Revision of the August 20, 2025 Resolution

PORT-AU-PRINCE.— The Platform of Haiti's civil society organizations, through the Patriyòt Haytien Angaje (PHA) group, expressed its gratitude to Haiti's Ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS), Myrtha Désulmé, for her decisive role in the revision of the resolution adopted by the hemispheric organization on August 20. During the July 2025 session, where OAS Secretary General Albert Ramdin had presented the initial draft of the roadmap titled «New Path for Haiti», Ms. Désulmé had then denounced the involvement of Haitian actors. This intervention was deemed decisive, leading to a reconsideration of the document by the OAS. A Turning Point to Improve the Image of Haitian Diplomacy Following the criticisms raised by the Ambassador, the OAS convened a new session on August 20, at the end of which an improved version of the draft was adopted. This version incorporates Haitian concerns, notably a budgetary rebalancing aimed at strengthening resources allocated to security, while maintaining essential humanitarian aid. The PHA hails what it calls a «diplomatic milestone», believing that this victory reflects Haiti's will to defend its sovereignty and institutional dignity in international negotiations. Recognition and Call for Consultation In its statement, the citizen movement: A. Thanks Ms. Désulmé for her constant commitment to Haitian interests; B. Encourages the OAS and its partners to draw inspiration from this example and to ensure, in the future, the active participation of Haitian actors in any resolution concerning the country; C. Reaffirms its support for the new version of the resolution adopted on August 20, 2025. Towards a New Framework for International Cooperation This diplomatic success, achieved through the Ambassador's intervention, marks a step towards a renewal of relations between Haiti and its international partners, where imposed solutions give way to an inclusive and concerted approach. For the PHA, this dynamic must now serve as a model so that any international initiative targeting Haiti is based on national ownership and the co-construction of solutions adapted to the country's realities.
