Taking note of the Governors Island Agreement signed on 3 July 1993 3/
and the New York Pact signed on 16 July 1993, 4/
Noting that, in spite of the efforts of the international community,
President Jean-Bertrand Aristide has not been returned to power and democratic
order has not been re-established in Haiti in accordance with the terms of the
Governors Island Agreement,
Gravely alarmed by the persistence and worsening of flagrant violations
of human rights, in particular summary and arbitrary executions, involuntary
disappearances, torture and rape, and arbitrary arrests and detention, as well
as the refusal to recognize freedom of expression, assembly and association,
Deeply concerned by the multiplication of acts of violence and
intimidation against the Government of Haiti, in particular the assassination
of the Minister of Justice, François Guy Malary, which have contributed to the
withdrawal of the International Civilian Mission to Haiti,
Deeply disturbed by the obstacles which continue to oppose deployment of
the United Nations Mission in Haiti, sent under Security Council resolution
867 (1993), and also by the fact that the Haitian armed forces have failed in
their responsibility to permit the Mission to start its work,
Recognizing the importance of the measures adopted by the Security
Council with a view to reaching a settlement of the Haitian crisis,
Welcoming the efforts of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of
the United Nations and the Secretary-General of the Organization of American
States,
