Claude Joseph (French pronunciation: [klod ʒozɛf]) is a Haitian politician who has served as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Worship since 4 March 2020, acting Prime Minister of Haiti since 14 April 2021 and acting President of Haiti since 7 July 2021. Joseph was appointed interim Prime Minister following the resignation of Joseph Jouthe. After the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse on 7 July 2021,[1] Joseph assumed the office of acting President and was internationally recognized as such.[2][3] As he is not a confirmed Prime Minister, the legality of his succession is unclear[2] and disputed with Ariel Henry, the Prime Minister-designate, and Joseph Lambert, the head of Haiti's rump Senate.[4] Joseph has announced his intention to hold the 2021 Haitian general election in September as scheduled.[5] On 19 July 2021, under a subsequent political agreement, it was announced Joseph will yield the prime ministership to Henry and will remain the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Worship.[6]
Early life and education
Joseph holds a doctorate in public policy from The New School in New York where he was awarded a full merit-based scholarship as well as the Isador Lubin Fellowship, and worked as a university professor in the United States.[7] He has taught at the University of Connecticut and Long Island University.[8]
On 4 March 2020, he became Minister of Foreign Affairs in the government of Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe.[9]
Acting Prime Minister of Haiti
After the resignation of Jouthe, he was appointed interim prime minister by President Jovenel Moïse on 14 April 2021.[10] Moïse chose Ariel Henry to succeed him in this role, but did not sign Henry's appointment.[11]
Acting President of Haiti
On 7 July 2021, President Moïse was assassinated and First Lady Martine Moïse was injured during an attack at their residence in Pétion-Ville. Joseph assumed political control of the government,[2] and blamed the attack on "a group of unidentified individuals, some of whom spoke in Spanish and English."[12] At the moment, Joseph stated that he is in control of the country.[13][14] The legal succession to the presidency is unclear, and the head of the Senate of Haiti, Joseph Lambert, has also claimed to be the acting president.[15]
The United Nations special envoy for Haiti, Helen La Lime, said on 8 July 2021 that Joseph will lead Haiti until an election is held later in the year, urging all parties to set aside differences.[2][16]
A group of prominent diplomats to Haiti called the "Core Group", which is made up of ambassadors to Haiti from Brazil, the European Union, France, Germany, Spain and the United States, in addition to representatives to Haiti from the Organization of American States and the United Nations, called on Ariel Henry to take charge as the head of the government.[17]
