International Civilian Mission in Haiti

Not to be confused with the International Civilian Support Mission in Haiti (MICAH).

The International Civilian Mission in Haiti (MICIVIH, from the French: Mission civile internationale en Haïti)[1] was a joint civilian mission in Haiti by the United Nations and the Organization of American States.[2] It was created in February 1993, with a mandate focussed on protection of human rights and legitimate state institutions. MICIVIH was the response to a request from deposed president Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Most of the mission staff was evacuated in October 1993, and the mission was suspended for multiple months in 1994. It then continued until its mandate expired in 2000.[3]

It was the United Nations first joint mission with a regional organization: in this case, the Organization of American States (OAS).[3]
