Criitical comments on Haiti's reconstruction. UNESCO tries to tackle the many and diverse problems Haiti is facing
The 1st International Coordination Committee for the Protection of Haitian Cultural Heritage (ICC) on 7-8 July at the UNESCO’S HQ in Paris was a diffferent experience. It appeared that the Haitians and the western NGOs and IOs had many different expectations. It is UNESCOs role to reconcile these different cultures. The haitian people are getting impatience and the stormy weather season approaching does not help much either.
