A concurrent resolution calling for the imposition of certain sanctions with respect to Haiti until the Haitian Government is taking significant steps to move that country toward democracy and to end the violence and human rights abuses.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President should: (1) not provide any new food, development, or other economic assistance for Haiti; (2) suspend trade benefits to Haiti under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act; (3) call upon other donor countries to suspend direct assistance, including military assistance; and (4) impose economic sanctions against Haiti (excluding restrictions on U.S. food exports). Declares that all such sanctions should be continued until the Haitian Government takes steps to hold free elections, implement political reforms, establish political parties, and end human rights abuses. States that the United States should provide new food and other economic assistance only if the Haitian Government cooperates to implement such assistance.
