"As I learn of Jean-Claude Duvalier’s death on this October 4th, I can only regret that justice was unable to complete its course and that he never had to answer the charges of systematic corruption and serious crimes committed under his regime.
I am still convinced that real national reconciliation and concord could only have come through a duty of truth.
On this day, my thoughts are first with the victims of so much brutality and with Haiti, as a whole, which suffered years of sorrow and grave affronts to human rights, liberties and democracy.
We should all draw clear lessons from this somber chapter of history."
