William O’Neill says ‘survival of a nation’ is at stake and also calls for deployment of an international force

William O’Neill, who was appointed in April as an expert on human rights in Haiti, added his voice to growing calls for an international intervention in the country, which has descended into crime-fuelled anarchy since the murder of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021.
