PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - The United Nations' expert on human rights in Haiti said on Friday that the situation in the conflict-hit Caribbean nation had worsened and efforts to rebuild security must be amplified as a security mission deadline fast approaches.
"The solutions are there, and they already exist. But efforts must be redoubled immediately," U.N. expert William O'Neill said as he concluded a visit to Haiti. "This enduring agony must stop. It is a race against time."
