HISTORICAL CONTEXT
The FAd'H was disbanded by President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1995 following documented
human rights abuses and was reconstituted by presidential decree in 2017 under President
Jovenel Moise. The reconstituted force has faced persistent questions about command loyalty
and political neutrality since reactivation. Labor organizing within Haitian state security
institutions is not permitted under military law.
