Summary

Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) the President should continue to make clear the support of the United States for the Haitian people's efforts to establish a democracy; (2) Haiti's National Council of Government should respect and abide by decisions made by the Provisional Election Council in conducting elections called for under the new Haitian constitution; (3) the Haitian armed forces should respect human rights and exercise restraint in carrying out their duties; and (4) all Haitians need to work to avoid further violence and allow the democratic transition to proceed in a peaceful atmosphere.
