The OAS-CARICOM Joint
Election Observation Mission deplores the significant increase in pre-election
violence which has tarnished the last days of the election campaign.

The Mission reminds
the presidential candidates, political parties and political platforms
which have signed the Code of Conduct for the Elections that they committed
themselves,

inter alia, to promote an atmosphere of tolerance
during the election campaign as well as to renounce the use of weapons,
physical or verbal aggression, and to respect the right of rival parties
and their supporters to meet and to campaign without disruption throughout
the country...
