Haiti Strategy: Control, Legitimacy, Sovereignty, Rule of Law, Handoffs, and Exit

Abstract

The author proposes an interlocking strategy for Haiti that emphasizes the achievement of limited objectives by the United States. He contends that our strategy should stress the humanitarian dimensions of our assistance rather than pursuit of the open-ended goal of the restoration of democracy in that country. Two keys to the success of such a strategy will be how Haiti handles the amnesty question and what kind of judicial and police system is developed. Such an approach will provide the United States greater hope for success and the probability of a dignified exit. Haiti, United Nations coalition, Aristide, Humanitarian assistance, Amnesty.
