Summary

Condemns the military Government of Haiti for its forced exile of opposition leaders, abridgement of civil and political rights, and disregard for the Haitian Constitution and international law. Urges such Government to cease censorship of the media and to extend to all people in Haiti rights guaranteed in relevant human rights accords. Calls upon the Secretary of State to: (1) make free and fair elections, a democratic transition, and respect for human rights key issues in determining U.S. relations with Haitian authorities; (2) urge such Government to guarantee the safe return of exiled opposition leaders, provide security to candidates, and assure voter safety; (3) call attention to the state of siege and ongoing human rights violations by such Government in international fora; and (4) cooperate with other governments in multilateral appeals to focus world attention on the situation in Haiti.
