13, 2020, President Jovenel Moı¨se has ruled by de-
cree. At least five decrees have been cited as increas-
ingly authoritarian by Haitian civic and political 
leaders and the international community, including 
the October 30, 2020, decision to constitute a five- 
member group to draft a new constitution, the No-
vember 6, 2020, decision to reduce the control of 
anti-corruption entities like the Superior Court of 
Accounts and Administrative Litigation, the Novem-
ber 26, 2020, anti-terrorism decree that establishes 
sanctions applicable to Haitian police officers not 
stopping demonstrations, the November 26, 2020, 
creation of the National Intelligence Agency, and the 
February 11, 2021, appointment of three new judges 
to the Supreme Court of Haiti outside of constitu-
tional procedures. 
(13) Although there has been no parliament in 
place since January 2020, the Haitian Government 
approved a budget on September 30, 2020, but the 
delay prevented the International Monetary Fund 
and other multilaterals from disbursing millions in 
international assistance.

passed the Supreme Court to appoint a Provisional 
Electoral Council (CEP) by executive decree. Several

civil society groups that traditionally participate in 
Haiti’s electoral councils criticized the decision and 
have declined to be represented in the CEP. 
(15) On February 7, 2021, President Moı¨se al-
leged that a coup had been attempted against him 
leading to 23 subsequent arrests, including of Judge 
Yviquel Dabre´sil of the Supreme Court of Haiti. The 
Department of State noted that ‘‘the situation re-
mains murky and we await the results of the police 
investigation’’. President Moı¨se later forced the re-
tirement of three Supreme Court judges on Feb-
ruary 9, 2021, who were named as possible transi-
tional presidents by political opponents, and replaced 
them with individuals he unilaterally selected.
