Haiti will investigate crimes against humanity committed during the 15-year rule of ousted strongman Jean-Claude Duvalier, who recently returned from exile, Amnesty International said yesterday.
"Investigating Jean-Claude Duvalier for the human rights crimes committed during his time in power is a massive step forward, Gerardo Ducos, Haiti researcher for the London-based rights group, said in a statement.
"What we need to see now is a swift and impartial process, in line with international standards, that truly brings justice for those who have been waiting for too long."
