HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Article 6.1 of the May 23 2024 decree establishing the CPT explicitly prohibits mandate extension
requiring the Council to complete its mandate by organizing elections and transferring power to
elected authorities. The OAS November 5 Roadmap committed to work with Haitian authorities to
avoid a power vacuum if the CPT mandate expires but no international actor has convened
coordination meetings or announced frameworks.
