According to William O’Neal, former legal Director of the International OAS UN Civilian Mission to Haiti, there is evidence of accelerated human rights abuses in Haiti.

dc.description.tableofcontents | 3. Former U.S. Defense Attorney Casper Weinberger has condemned the U.S. policy on Haiti. He said the policy is stupid and weak giving wide latitude to Haitian military leaders.

dc.description.tableofcontents | 4. Dominican Republic President Joaquin Balaguer has said the United Nations economic blockage has gone on too long and if it is not lifted soon, Haiti is in danger of a social explosion.

dc.description.tableofcontents | 5. The Dominican Republic’s election campaign is about to enter its last month. The opposition candidates have been repeatedly accused Joaquin Balaguer’s government of illegally using public funds to promote the President’s own campaign for re-election.

dc.description.tableofcontents | 6.

The Animal Alliance of Canada says it supports the U.S. based International Wildlife Coalition Initiative. However, International group Green Peace and the International Wildlife Fund have chosen not to support the boycott. The Director of the Animal Alliance of Canada comments on why his organization believes the boycott campaign is the right tactic (08:33-12:10) | en_US |
dc.description.tableofcontents | 7. An article written in a British journal which suggests that war time leader Winston Churchill was a lifelong racist has caused controversy among his supporters in Britain.
