[edit] Sources for Raid

Can anybody find any reliable NPOV sources on the MINUSTAH raid? All the news I can find on it, even at this late date, is from either a pro-Lavalas or pro-MINUSTAH site, except the Doctors Without Borders release, which is very ambiguous. Thanks, Billy P 17:01, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Whatever the problems on both sides here, this article has a definite pro-coup/occupation slant. It is definitely in need of a NPOV -- which is quite possible in even a controversial article. I've seen it done, and well.

I completely agree that most of the article seems to be pro-MINUSTAH. That is why I tagged the Cite Soleil attack on here. The additional article is very, very good. I tried to be balanced myself, but I hope that it at least makes it clear that there is another side to this story. Billy P 21:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Having read Brazilian sources, I find evidence that the concerns about MINUSTAH do not seem one-sidded, many Brazilian news sources presenting the same attitude of this article. Perhaps the solution could be to add a specific section of the article to "controversial issues regarding the MINUSTAH" such as its possible role as pro-coup/occupation and tool of imperialism. This way, the body of the article is more "dry" but a concern often expressed in the Press still receives due attention. 11:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Viva Chile

Chilean imperialism??!! Yeah, right! I think my country shouldn´t be in the following part: "to give an impression of legitimacy to the imperialist agenda of France, Canada, Chile and the U.S"

[edit] Merge with Operation Secured Tomorrow

The article Operation Secured Tomorrow should be merged with that one. They describe the same incidents. -- Magioladitis 08:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) began in 2004 and is continuing. The accronym MINUSTAH is commonly used in current news reports. On August 2, 2007 , the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon recommended an extension of the mandate of the UN forces in Haiti.(BBC NEWS) Sincerely, Mattisse 17:23, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bias concerns

Are there still concerns about bias in this article? And, if so, how can they be addressed so the POV tag can be removed? Sincerely, Mattisse 18:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UN resolutions and reports

I wish I had time to boil down these UN reports and resolutions and make them fit into the article. I don't know how it's best done -- as a separate timeline of references, or with selected highlights. These docs are difficult to find, so do as you can with them. They go into a lot of details.Goatchurch 09:45, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
