dc.description.abstractIn a special address to the Haitian people - American President elect Bill Clinton appealed to Haitians not to travel to the US to seek refugee status. In an effort to restore democracy, improve Human Rights and discourage an exodus of Boat departures to the US – Clinton promised the Haitian people an upgrade and fair processing of refugee applications at the US embassy in Haiti.
