Sense of Congress

It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the United States has a national security interest in ameliorating the security, economic, political, and humanitarian crises in Haiti; (2) the gangs unleashing violence and suffering across Haiti represent a threat to stability in Haiti and the region; (3) stabilization of the security situation and full participation of civil society in Haiti must be a precondition for open democratic political processes; and (4) a lasting solution to the crisis in Haiti must garner support from and be led by the Haitian people.
