Full Description

This report was submitted to the Security Council on June 20, 1994 under paragraph 16 of resolution 917 (1994), which requires monthly review of the measures on Haiti. It states that no progress has been made on the Governors Island Agreement since May 6, 1994 and that tensions have grown with the installation of an illegitimate government under Emile Jonassaint, who declared a state of emergency on June 11. It describes tighter sanctions by individual states, including a US ban on commercial flights and financial transfers, additional naval vessels off Haiti, and technical assistance to the Dominican Republic to enforce the border embargo.

It reports a sharp deterioration in human rights, with 50 politically related killings documented by the International Civilian Mission. It also reports that the humanitarian situation continues to worsen, that the 1993 UN/OAS appeal raised $9.6 million of the $62.7 million required required, and that obstacles hamper the delivery of relief supplies.
