Prosper Avril is not prepared to follow the path toward a peaceful. just. and democratic future for Haiti. In fact. General Avrils government has systematically dismantled the Haitian Constitution. dramatically curtailed the civil and political rights of Haitian citizens. carried out a wave of arrests. deportations. and beatings. and has forcibly exiled many opposition and civic leaders during the past month. These gross violations of internationally recognized human rights. together with strict restrictions on public expression and assembly. have only served to worsen the alreadyIntolerable living standards of the Western Hemispheres most impoverished nation. The resolution before the House today condemns the Government of Haiti for its abridgement of civil and political rights and its blatant disregard for the Haitian Constitution and international law.
