El narcotráfi co en Haití comenzó a detectarse en la década de 1970 bajo el régimen dictatorial de Jean Claude Duvalier y fue pasado por alto por Estados Unidos. Con el transcurso de los años pudo constatarse que podía ser utilizado como un elemento desestabilizador para señalar a un presidente democráticamente electo; de tal suerte que la guerra contra las drogas “llegó” a Haití cuando Jean Bertrand Aristide ocupó la presidencia de la República por primera vez en 1991, porque a raíz de ello se aplicaron los criterios estadounidenses de preservación de la seguridad nacional, al considerarse este país como una amenaza. El narcotráfi co ha aumentado debido a la debilidad de las instituciones, la inestabilidad política, la corrupción, la supeditación a las directrices estadounidenses y la falta de autonomía.
Drug trafficking in Haiti began to be detected in the 1970s under the dictatorial regime of Jean Claude Duvalier and was overlooked by the United States. Over the years, it became clear that drug trafficking could be used as a destabilizing element to finger point a democratically elected president; it so happened that the war on drugs “arrived” in Haiti when Jean Bertrand Aristide became President of the Republic for the first time in 1991, which resulted in the implementation of US criteria for preserving national security, since the country was considered a threat. Drug trafficking has increased due to weak institutions, political instability, corruption, dependence on US guidelines, and lack of autonomy.
