The L.I.P., when taken at face value, is an excellent idea. Many of the Haitian diaspora have called for similar “Marshall Plans” for Haiti. (Examples can be found here, here, and here.) It must also be said that the Plan is in its infancy, having just debuted and pending revisions in a pugnacious Congress. However, the current details of the Plan warrant scrutiny. The Plan’s stipulations, in my opinion, are hampered without reparations, including the return of Navassa Island, and broader reforms to the international financial system.
