29969: Clitandre (ask) Looking for documents/articles on Haiti's debt to France (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: Nadege Clitandre <ntaniblue@hotmail.com>


 I have a law student who is doing some research on Haiti's debt to France
 and the legal steps /case brought forth to forgive the debt.  Does anyone
 have suggestions of where to look, and books, docments, and other
 resources I should refer him to?
