- OAS Asks UN Security Council to Strengthen Haiti Embargo
-
- Fifteen months after the coup which unseated Haiti's
- democratically elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and
- having been unsuccessful in attempts to reinstate Aristide, the
- Organization of American States (OAS) decided on Dec. 13 to ask
- the UN Security Council to tighten the embargo against Haiti. The
- decision reportedly caused great divisions among the members of
- the OAS. After several hours of debate behind closed doors the
- ministers of Foreign Relations of member countries approved the
- measure. The Security Council was seen as the agent which could
- ask that the embargo be universally respected. The Mexican
- delegation to the OAS objected to the move, saying that the
- Security Council is meant to deal with matters which threaten
- international peace and security, and that the Haitian crisis was
- essentially a domestic problem. (edlp 12/14/92 from AFP)
