Amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations: Partial Lifting of Arms Embargo Against Haiti

Resumo

The Department of State is amending the International Traffic in Arms Regulations to reflect modifications to the U.S. arms embargo against Haiti. The embargo is revised to permit exports of defense articles and services that are destined for security units under the command of the Government of Haiti, or under the command of the United Nations (UN) and UN- authorized missions, and to allow exports of personal protective clothing, including flak jackets and helmets, for use by personnel from the United Nations and other international organizations, representatives of the media, and development workers and associated personnel.
