This working methodology, based on targeted consultations, aims to pool the opinions and contributions of military and defense experts, geopoliticians, specialists in strategic and security studies, legal experts, criminologists, and others.
Among these highly qualified and experienced individuals are General Prosper Avril, Colonel Antoine Atouriste, Lieutenant Colonel Marie Sandry Charles Pierre, Dr. Prosper Charles, military historian Georges Michel, Dr. Ricardo Augustin, Attorney James Boyard, and others.
In accordance with the guidelines submitted to this multidisciplinary working group, the new doctrine of the Haitian Armed Forces (FAD'H) must imperatively take into account not only the expansion of the national defense function to include asymmetric and hybrid threats, but also respect for the normative framework applicable to any armed force in a democratic society, namely respect for human rights, humanitarian law, and the principle of civil-military relations.
We remain hopeful that this interdisciplinary working method will guarantee the richness, relevance, and credibility of this technical and normative document intended to guide the missions of this army, which we envision as modern, professional, and, above all, multi-skilled.
