(CARICOM Secretariat, Georgetown, Guyana) The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is deeply concerned by the deteriorating health and worrisome judicial situation which have developed with regard to Mr. Yvon Neptune, the former constitutional Prime Minister of Haiti. On 27 June 2004, Mr. Neptune voluntarily turned himself in following the issue of an arrest warrant. Mr. Neptune is yet to be brought to trial. Not even the first step in prosecuting him has been fulfilled. Haiti's constitution requires that a judge confirm a detention within 48 hours.
