		<description><![CDATA[The Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon has released a statement saying the U.N. will not pay compensation for the victims of the 2010 cholera outbreak in Haiti. Citing section 29 of the 1946 convention, the U.N. will use its legal immunity to avoid claims that it is responsible for the spread of a disease that killed around 7,750 Haitians. The Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti (IJDH), a group based in Boston, brought the call for compensation to the U.N. in November 2011, writes the Guardian. The group argued that the cholera infection arrived in Haiti in the form of U.N. peacekeepers from Nepal and spread following the country&#8217;s epochal 2010 earthquake and humanitarian disaster. A report from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed in mid-2011 that “there was an exact correlation in time and places between the arrival of a Nepalese battalion from an area experiencing a cholera outbreak and the appearance of the first cases in Meille a few days after.” In October 2012, a leading U.S. cholera specialist Dr. Daniele Lantagne said, “that the strain of cholera in Haiti is an exact match for the strain of cholera in Nepal,” writes the Guardian.  (MORE: Haiti Three Years After the Quake: There&#8217;s Good News, Too) In his statement, the Secretary General carefully avoided accepting or denying responsibility for the pandemic. He said that, since the outbreak, the United Nations and its partners have worked with the people of Haiti and the Haitian government “to provide treatment, improve water and sanitation facilities, and strengthen prevention and early warning.” He also expressed his “profound sympathy” to those who have suffered because of the illness. According to Reuters, Ban Ki-moon has contacted the Haitian President Michel Martelly telling him that the U.N. will not pay the $100,000 for families of people killed and $50,000 for victims, requested by the IJDH group in Boston. Maximillien Saint Juste, who was treated for cholera in 2011, told the Guardian that he has faced “discrimination” since contracting the disease. “A lot of<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=world.time.com&#038;blog=19871253&#038;post=70676&#038;subd=timeglobalspin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Haiti marks the third anniversary of the apocalyptic Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people, the conventional wisdom is that the international effort to rebuild the western hemisphere’s poorest nation has been a bust. It took far too long to clear the rubble; some 350,000 displaced Haitians still live in squalid tent camps; U.N. peacekeepers are allegedly responsible for a cholera epidemic, and unemployment continues to top 70%. Even Canada’s International Cooperation Minister, Julian Fantino, said this month after a visit to Haiti  that his country was putting any new aid projects there “on ice” because of the lack of progress he saw. But let’s be real. Few if any countries, even one as small as Haiti but especially one as impoverished as Haiti, can be rebuilt, let alone built back better, three years after suffering the worst natural disaster in the history of the western hemisphere. That doesn’t excuse the mistakes, nor does it relieve the developed world of its responsibility to help. Still, Haiti would be in a far deeper abyss at this juncture without that U.S. and global aid, muddled or not. And in the long run, ironically, the international community’s failures as well as its successes—and there have been successes, such as a new industrial park on Haiti’s north coast and hundreds of solar-powered street lights in the devastated capital, Port-au-Prince—could reduce Haiti’s addiction to foreign assistance and prod its own feeble, corrupt institutions to stand up and assume more effective governance. In their $10 billion quest to “build it back better,” foreign donor countries, including the U.S., often got ahead of themselves by shooting for larger-scale projects like economic decentralization before they made sure that more basic and urgent needs like new housing were checked off. (To be fair, however, the U.S. did lead the way in removing the ocean of smashed concrete and twisted rebar, a job that too many other donor nations considered beneath them.) And the bloated presence of independent aid organizations—did we really need Homeopaths Without Borders<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=world.time.com&#038;blog=19871253&#038;post=63370&#038;subd=timeglobalspin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>In Haiti, Hurricane Sandy Leaves Behind Death and Devastation</title>

		<description><![CDATA[As Hurricane Sandy bore down on the Northeastern U.S. on Monday evening, the 50 million Americans in its path at least knew it wouldn’t wreak the kind of devastation that storms like these leave in Haiti. Just days before Sandy’s eastern edge dumped a biblical deluge of driving rain over southern Haiti last week, President Michel Martelly and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton inaugurated a major new industrial park on the nation’s northern coast. Sandy’s aftermath — including 52 confirmed dead, 20 more missing and scores of new cholera cases — is yet another grave reminder of just how badly the western hemisphere’s poorest country needs economic development, if only so it can finally have the kind of homes, roads, bridges and drainage systems that won’t be swept away like so much Caribbean beach sand every time a cyclone passes through. The full extent of Sandy’s damage to Haiti was slow to emerge. But Haiti’s Civil Protection Agency now reports that the flooding — which is almost always epic in Haiti, not just because of poor infrastructure but because decades of deforestation for fuel have left few natural barriers to the raging waters — has left some 18,000 families homeless. “This is a disaster of major proportions,” Haitian Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe told the Associated Press. “The whole south is under water.” (PHOTOS: Hurricane Sandy Wreaks Havoc in Caribbean) Even before Sandy, some 370,000 Haitians were still without decent shelter, dwelling in squalid tent camps and other makeshift settlements, after southern Haiti and the capital, Port-au-Prince, were wrecked by the massive 2010 earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people. Now, says Pierre-Evens Alexis, mayor of the town of Meniche in Haiti’s South department, a nearby river that burst its banks during Sandy has utterly isolated his community. “There’s no water, no food, and people have lost their homes,” Alexis told TIME by phone, adding that Meniche’s important coffee crops are “completely destroyed.” Massive crop losses, blocked roads — including an important border crossing into the Dominican Republic — are<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=world.time.com&#038;blog=19871253&#038;post=52347&#038;subd=timeglobalspin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Clintons in Haiti: Can an Industrial Park Save the Country?</title>

		<description><![CDATA[In Haiti, the western hemisphere’s most underdeveloped nation, the north is one of the most neglected regions, snubbed for centuries by a political and economic elite entrenched mainly in the country’s southern capital, Port-au-Prince. But Haiti’s massive 2010 earthquake, which wrecked Port-au-Prince and killed more than 200,000 people, made domestic leaders and international donors alike realize that Haiti has to start developing away from its overpopulated, quake-vulnerable south and tap the potential of northern cities like Cap Haitien. That strategy, part of a “build Haiti back better” vision, took a crowning if controversial step this week. On Monday, Haitian President Michel Martelly, joined by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a host of political and business luminaries that included her husband (and U.N. special envoy to Haiti) former U.S. President Bill Clinton, inaugurated the Caracol Industrial Park, a $300 million, 600-acre (246-hectare) facility near the country’s north coast, east of the seaport city of Cap Haitien. The Caracol inauguration was the first joint trip to Haiti by the Clintons since they visited the Caribbean nation shortly after they wed in the 1970s. Now they’re hoping Caracol will be the start of a more productive marriage between Haiti and the international donors and investors it so desperately needs just to build back, let alone build back better. A mock Haitian village was erected for the occasion, as celebrities like British tycoon Richard Branson looked on beneath banners proclaiming “A New Day in Haiti.” Martelly, whom Hillary Clinton gushingly praised as the “chief dreamer and believer,” declared the modern plant and the 130,000 jobs it’s expected to create as proof that despite the usual “sad images of Haiti,” the country “is open for business, and that’s not just a slogan.” Like Martelly, the U.S., which is leading the international effort to rebuild Haiti, has been eager to present an accomplishment of Caracol’s magnitude amidst what critics have called a slow reconstruction effort. Reassuring evidence of progress is crucial to getting the billions of dollars that international donors have pledged to Haiti—but<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=world.time.com&#038;blog=19871253&#038;post=51760&#038;subd=timeglobalspin&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
