A film exploring the use of force by UN peacekeepers in Haiti

Between 2005 and 2007, UN peacekeeping troops carried out several raids on Cité Soleil, a severely economically-depressed neighbourhood of Port au Prince. Though the raids were specifically targeting leaders of criminal gangs, scores of civilians (including children) were killed and many more injured. This documentary returns to Cité Soleil to examine the impact of those raids on the community and to find out how victims of the raids have fared in the ten years since they occurred.

We invite you to join us for the documentary and to a discussion following the film.

Respondent panel - Professors Aoife Nolan, Conor Gearty, Siobhán Mullally.

The documentary was developed with support from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK), Ulster University and Queens University Belfast.

RSVP: Elizabeth Surper (super-e@email.ulster.ac.uk)
