Proclamation 6685 of May 7, 1994
Suspension of Entry of Aliens Whose Entry is
Barred Under United Nations Security Council Resolution
917 or Who Formulate, Implement, or Benefit from
Policies that are Impeding the Negotiations Seeking the
Return to Constitutional Rule in Haiti
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
In light of the political crisis in Haiti resulting
from the expulsion from Haiti of President Aristide and
the constitutional government, United Nations Security
Council Resolution 917, and the overriding interest of
the United States in the restoration of democracy to
Haiti, I have determined that it is in the interests of
the United States to restrict the entry to the United
States of: (1) all aliens described in paragraph 3 of
United Nations Security Council Resolution 917; and (2)
all other aliens who formulate, implement, or benefit
from policies that impede the progress of the
negotiations designed to restore constitutional
government to Haiti and their immediate families.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, by the powers
vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws
of the United States of America, including sections
212(f) and 215 of the Immigration and Nationality Act
of 1952, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185), and
section 301 of title 3, United States Code, hereby find
that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry
into the United States of aliens described in sections
1 and 2 of this proclamation would, except as provided
for in sections 3 and 4 of this proclamation, be
detrimental to the interests of the United States. I do
therefore proclaim that:
Section 1. The immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into
the United States of aliens described in paragraph 3 of
United Nations Security Council Resolution 917 is
hereby suspended. These aliens are:
(a) all officers of the Haitian military, including
the police, and their immediate families;
(b) the major participants in the coup d'etat of
1991 and in the illegal governments since the coup
d'etat, and their immediate families; and
(c) those employed by or acting on behalf of the
Haitian military, and their immediate families.
Sec. 2. The immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the
United States of aliens who are not covered by section
1, but who nonetheless formulate, implement, or benefit
from policies that impede the progress of the
negotiations designed to restore constitutional
government to Haiti, and their immediate families, is
hereby suspended.
Sec. 3. Section 1 shall not apply with respect to any
alien otherwise covered by section 1 where the entry of
such alien has been approved as prescribed by paragraph
3 of United Nations Security Council Resolution 917.
Sec. 4. Section 2 shall not apply with respect to any
alien otherwise covered by section 2 where the entry of
such alien would not be contrary to the interests of
the United States.
Sec. 5. Aliens covered by sections 1 through 4 shall be
identified pursuant to procedures established by the
Secretary of State, as authorized in section 8 below.
Sec. 6. Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed
to derogate from United States Government obligations
under applicable international agreements.
Sec. 7. This proclamation shall take effect at 11:59
p.m., eastern daylight time on May 8, 1994, and shall
remain in effect until such time as the Secretary of
State determines that it is no longer necessary and
should be terminated.
Sec. 8. The Secretary of State shall have
responsibility to implement this proclamation pursuant
to procedures the Secretary may establish.
Sec. 9. Proclamation No. 6569 of June 3, 1993, is
hereby revoked.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and
eighteenth.
