The Group of 184 was a group of Haitian individuals and organizations in a variety of sectors, ranging from business and the economy to media and education, that was united in opposition to Jean-Bertrand Aristide and his Fanmi Lavalas party.
It was formed specifically to oppose Aristide's government and was led by André Apaid, a Haitian businessman.

The European Commission worked with the ISC from 2001 to 2003 on a Human Rights and Democracy project, and donated 773,000 Euros annually during that period.
The EC donation was dispersed among ISC-designated "human rights groups" in Haiti.
