By criminalizing these groups, demobilization programs, particularly for under-age recruits, become complex. Dialogue between humanitarian actors and gangs, crucial for aid delivery or cease-fires, is compromised. <\/p> \n \n

NGOs could also be accused of “supporting terrorism” by operating in gangrenous areas (60% of Port-au-Prince). The stigmatization of Haitian migrants in the United States could intensify, with accelerated deportations based on mere suspicion. <\/p> \n \n
