CARICOM's facilitation role in Haiti dates to the April 2024 Transitional Presidential Council formation when the regional body brokered agreements among competing political factions to establish nine-member governance structure. Previous CARICOM interventions in Haiti's political crises including the 2004 transition following President Jean-Bertrand Aristide's departure established patterns of regional mediation that broke down when domestic actors refused compromise, suggesting current silence may indicate similar deadlock rather than productive negotiations.
