The defacto military regime that deposed President Aristide has demonstrated a total disregard for human rights in Haiti. and the poorest Haitian people are suffering the most as a result of the armys brutality. Our effort must include protection for Haitians who have fled the deplorable conditions that they face in their country. and we need to address the fear they have of returning to Haiti. The Bush administration hopes to address this problem by forcibly repatriating the Haitian refugees and by easing the trade embargo put In place with the support of the member nations of the Organization of American States [OAS]. I supported President Bushs efforts to consult with and enlist the support of the OAS in dealing with the coup in Haiti. I cannot understand why we are now undermining the OAS effort.
