In October 1991. the Organization of American States imposed a trade embargo on Haiti to demonstrate its commitment to defending democracy in the hemisphere. Several diplomatic initiatives of OAS did not succeed in ending effective military government. but the involvement of United Nations in late 1992 brings new hope for a diplomatic breakthrough. Since the coup. Haitians have taken to their boats in record numbers. More than 43.000 undocumented Haitians have been interdicted by the U.S. Coast Guard attempting to reach the United States to escape political and economic persecution. Although the current regime in Haiti is one of the most repressive in power today. the democratic movement still exists.
