Haiti: Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon proposes for reduction in U.N. troops

But the secretary-general maintains the U.N. enjoys legal immunity from such claims, and he rejected efforts by a Boston-based human rights group to seek compensation for a group of cholera victims who blamed peacekeepers for the outbreak.

On the political front, Ban said the steps taken by the Martelly administration “to project a new image of Haiti abroad in a bid to attract foreign investments have resulted in a significant increase in economic partnerships and have also generated renewed hope in Haiti’s ability to achieve development and growth.”
