Assembly 1995 Resolutions(Resolution adopted at the eighth plenary session, held on June 8, 1995)
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
HAVING SEEN the Government of Haiti's arrears in its payments to different funds of the Organization from 1988 through 1994;
CONSIDERING:
That, on September 30, 1991, there was an abrupt, violent, and irregular interruption in the legitimate exercise of power by the democratic government of Haiti, plunging that country, the poorest of the Hemisphere, into a political, economic, and social crisis without modern precedent in the region;
That the Ad Hoc Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs held in October 1991 resolved not to accept any government that might result from that illegal situation or any representative of such a government;
That the efforts of the people and of the legitimate government of Haiti as well as those of the Organization of American States and of the international community succeeded in restoring constitutional democracy to Haiti on October 15, 1994;
That the Organization and the international community have expressed their solidarity with the people and the Government of Haiti in their efforts to strengthen their democratic institutions and rebuild their economy;
That resources for the payment of Haiti's quotas for 1992, 1993, and 1994 are available in the Inter-American Priority Assistance Fund toHaiti; and
BEARING IN MIND that the Government of Haiti, in a gesture of responsibility for its financial obligations toward the Organization, presented for consideration by the Permanent Council a schedule of payments for all its arrears, which was accepted on April 6, 1995,
RESOLVES:
To provide an alternative source of financing to pay Haiti's debt to the Regular Fund for 1992, 1993, and 1994 from resources available in the Inter-American Priority Assistance Fund to Haiti.
