Robert Malval (born 11 July 1943 in Port-au-Prince) is the former prime minister of Haiti. He served from 30 August 1993 to 8 November 1994. He was preceded by Marc Bazin and was succeeded by Smarck Michel.

Personal life

Malval was born on 11 July 1943 in Port-au-Prince. He is of Lebanese heritage on his mother's side. He attended high school and university in the United States, earning a degree in political science from the University of Miami, before moving to Paris for graduate work in international affairs. Prior to entering politics, he worked in his father-in-law's printing business before starting his own company.

Political career

Malval was appointed on 16 August 1993 by President-in-exile Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who tasked Malval with reconciling the feuding parties. He defied the Army-backed president, Émile Jonassaint, by demanding state workers disregard Jonassaint's orders. In December 1993, he resigned his post and criticized Aristide as an "erratic" figure who was hampering efforts to solve the political crisis.
