Haitian politician

Joseph Lambert (born 5 February 1961 in Jacmel^[1]) is a Haitian politician who served as the president of the Haitian Senate from 2021 to 2023.^[2][3][4] Lambert had previously been the president of the Senate from 2006 to 2008 and from 2018 to 2019.

He was sanctioned by Canadian and American authorities for his involvement in the global illicit drug trade, corruption, and gross violations of human rights on 4 November 2022.^[5]

His claim to the presidency following the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse was disputed, due to a lack of constitutional guidance and the fact that only ten elected senators remained in the legislative body.^[3] Acting Prime Minister Claude Joseph had also claimed to take charge of Haiti following the presidential vacancy in 2021.^[6] The United Nations meanwhile recognized Claude Joseph as the legitimate acting President.^{& Bernard Sansaricq, mastermind of an aborted invasion of Haiti,...}
