HISTORICAL CONTEXT
International coordination on Haiti governance has historically been fragmented with competing
priorities among US CARICOM Canada France and UN actors. The 2021-2024 period saw
persistent disagreement on Montana Accord versus CPT legitimacy. The February 2026
consensus represents the strongest alignment since the 2004 MINUSTAH deployment and
reflects shared assessment that governance vacuum poses greater risk than imperfect
transitional authority.
