Haiti: Facts and Foreign by Stanley Lucas

There has always been much debate surrounding the idea of "foreign occupation" in Haiti.

Haitians, of course, are opposed to this. And some Haitian leaders capitalize on this opposition by distorting the facts and not taking the responsibility for requesting this support - or, more importantly, contributing the environment where such a need becomes imperative.

The fact is that from 1990 to present, the United Nations has deployed at the request of the Haitian government 15 missions to Haiti:

Technical assistance requested by president Ertha Pascale Trouillot in 1989 to support the 1990 elections

Request for an economic embargo against Haiti by Jean Bertrand Aristide in 1992

Aristide request for MICIVIH February 1993 - May 1998

U.S. Military intervention requested by Aristide in 1994

UNSMIH July 1996 - July 1997

UNTMIH August 1997 - November 1997

MIPONUH December 1997 - March 2000

MICAH March 2000 - Feb. 2001
