Abstract

A United States spokeman questions the economic sanctions against Haiti. The European parliament condenms the overthrow of the Haitian President and calls on the U.S. to cease the repatriation of Haitian refugees. U.S. Congressman, Charles Rangel calls on the United States to restore ousted President Jean Betrand Aristide to office, and concern grows in the UN over the failure to restore him to office. There are discussions on whether the Haitian situation can be placed on the UN's security council agenda. U.S. Congressman Robert Torricelli calls on U.S. allies to support his proposed Bill which seeks to tighten trade embargpo against Cuba, but there is a likely hostile response from the British government.
