The report presents the status of the protection of human rights in Haiti between January and March 2013. It was prepared by the Protection Unit of the Human Rights Section of MINUSTAH and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Haiti. It is the result of a collaborative effort and is based on the contribution of several departments of the Government of Haiti, UN agencies, International Organization for Migration and national and international non-governmental organizations. The report highlights the situation of various groups, amongst them the most vulnerable, including children, women, internally displaced persons and persons with disabilities. Their situation remains a matter of concern and requires the continued attention of all authorities and involved actors both in the immediate and in the long term. It will be updated on a quarterly basis.
