PORT AU PR 00000447  001.2 OF 002 
 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: Prominent businessman and Senate 
Vice-President Rudolph Henri Boulos resigned from the Senate 
on March 18 following the Senate's consideration of a report 
by the Senate Commission of Inquiry on Nationality.  The 
report, confirming that Senators Boulos and Ultimo Compere 
held American passports, was approved by 17 Senators, with 3 
abstentions.  A follow-on Senate Resolution proclaimed that 
Boulos and Compere had never legally held the title of 
Senator by virtue of their concealed American citizenship. 
The Senate Commission, led by 2011 presidential hopeful 
Senator Youri Latortue, also fingered GoH Minister of Justice 
Rene Magloire as a potential Canadian citizen, an allegation 
that has yet to be resolved.  GoH Minister of Finance Daniel 
Dorsainvil was cleared of all dual citizenship allegations. 
The resignation of Boulos and Compere's dismissal creates 
additional vacancies to be resolved in the already delayed 
Senate election.  The 1987 Constitution's clearly outlaws 
dual nationality, and stipulates that acquiring foreign 
nationality automatically causes loss of Haitian citizenship. 
 Nevertheless, the Senate's manhunt for dual nationals in 
high places threatens to destabilize the GoH.  End Summary. 
 
Senator Resigns Upon Presentation of Senate Commission 
Findings 
------------------------------------ 
 
2. (SBU) The Vice-President of the Senate and influential 
Senator from the Northeast Department, Rudolph Henri Boulos, 
resigned from the Senate on March 18 based on the findings of 
the Senate Commission of Inquiry on Nationality.  The 
Commission judged Senators Boulos and Compere (Lespwa, Center 
Department) to be holders of American passports, in violation 
of the 1987 Haitian Constitution.  In accordance with these 
findings, the Senate passed a resolution on March 18 
proclaiming that Senators Boulos and Ultimo Compere never 
held the status or title of Senator, effectively stripping 
them of their mandates.  Of 22 Senators in attendance, 17 
voted for Boulos' removal and 3 abstained.   Senator Boulos 
handed in his resignation before the Senate vote and quickly 
exited the chamber.  (Note: Two abstentions came from two 
Senators from the same Department as Boulos, Senators Judnel 
Jean of Fusion and Rodolphe Joazile of Pont.  The third was 
from Senator Eddy Bastien of Alyans in the Northwest 
Department.  End note.)  The Senate also requested that 
Senator Boulos submit his resignation in writing.  Senator 
Compere remains abroad after departing Haiti two weeks ago, 
reportedly for the U.S. 
 
3. (SBU) The Commission's findings on dual citizenship of 
Senators and other high ranking GoH officials were presented 
in a report to the Senate on March 13.  Formed on February 19 
in response to long-standing allegations of dual citizenship 
held by Senators and other high-ranking GoH officials, the 
Commission is headed by 2011 presidential hopeful Senator 
Youri Latortue (L'Artibonite en Action, Artibonite), and 
includes Cemephils Gilles (Lespwa, North), Evaliere Beauplan 
(Pont, Northwest), Rudy Heriveaux (Fanmi Lavalas, West), Jean 
Rodolphe Joazile (Pont, Northeast), Ricard Pierre (OPL, 
Southwest) and Joseph Lambert (Lespwa, Southeast).  The 
Commission started its investigation by sending out 50 
"nationality questionnaires" to Senators and other high 
ranking members of the GoH on February 20.  By March 10, the 
Commission received only 14 responses to the questionnaires 
-- all from Senators. 
 
Two Ministers Targeted 
---------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) The Commission met with some opposition, 
particularly from Prime Minister Jacques Edouard Alexis, who 
the week of March 10 instructed his ministers not to respond 
to the Commission's inquiries or to appear before the Senate 
-- pending a letter from the Government to the Senate 
spelling out the GoH's official position.  The Commission 
based the findings in their report on analysis of travel 
manifests from American Airlines, Caribintair (a local air 
carrier), and documents from the GoH Ministry of the Interior 
and Haitian Immigration Services. 
 
5. (SBU) The Commission report ruled that information 
provided by Minister of Finance Daniel Dorsainvil had cleared 
him of all dual citizenship allegations.  The same report 
decided that Minister of Justice Rene Magloire's failure to 
cooperate with the Commission supported the possibility he 
held Canadian citizenship.  The Commission suggested the 
 
PORT AU PR 00000447  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
Senate suspend all official interaction with Magloire until 
allegations of potential Canadian citizenship are resolved. 
(Note: The Commission claimed that their investigation 
revealed that Magloire had previously served as a state 
prosecutor in Canada, a position that could only be held by a 
native born or naturalized Canadian citizen.  End note.)  In 
Parliament, opinions remain divided on the need to verify 
Magloire's and other ministers' potential dual citizenship. 
Several parliamentarians opined that although the 1987 
Haitian Constitution defines the criteria to become Prime 
Minister, it is silent when it comes to ministers and 
secretaries of state.  Others alluded to the general 
 
SIPDIS 
applicability of Article 15.  (Note: Article 15 of the 
Haitian Constitution states that dual Haitian and foreign 
nationality is in no case permitted.  End note.) 
 
6. (SBU) The Commission also recommended that the Senate give 
the GoH 15 days for all GoH Ministers to respond to the 
Commission's questionnaires to validate their Haitian 
citizenship.  The Commission judged GoH and electoral 
authorities to have been negligent during the 2006 elections. 
 The report recommends that judicial proceedings be initiated 
against any party who facilitated the acquisition of Haitian 
passports by Senators and other high ranking GoH officials 
conclusively deemed to be dual citizens.  Despite its 
findings, the Commission asserted that there is consensus to 
revisit the nationality clauses of the Haitian constitution 
and possibly amend them, but the Senate had the legal 
obligation to enforce the nationality clauses as they stand. 
 
Comment 
------- 
 
7. (SBU) There is no political upside for Haiti in the 
Senate's action on dual nationality.  The only potential 
beneficiary of Boulos' resignation is 2011 presidential 
hopeful Senator Youri Latortue, who with this ruling kills a 
potential challenger from the powerful Boulos clan, as well 
as other potential rivals from the Haitian diaspora with dual 
citizenship.  (Ironically, Latortue has a U.S. immigrant visa 
petition pending.)  Despite the Latortue partisan interest, 
the initiative against dual nationals in high places enjoys 
broad Senate support.  The Senate report and the resignation 
of Senate Vice-President Boulos serve only to divert 
attention from urgent political issues, such as passing the 
new electoral law, organizing the delayed Senate elections, 
and devising policies to cope with increases in the cost of 
living.  Nevertheless, the manhunt for other possible dual 
citizens within the GoH and Parliament is unlikely to end 
soon.  It is an issue that easily lends itself to posturing 
by politicians, such as Latortue, with boundless ambitions 
but a limited sense of political responsibility.  Amending 
the nationality clauses of the constitution, which Embassy 
believes enjoys broad support, is a cumbersome procedure that 
would take years.
