Washington, CANA - Secretary General of the Organisation of American

"Support for Democracy in Haiti," that was approved at the 31st Regular

Secretaries General of the OAS and the Caribbean Community, as well as
by Ambassador Sergio Romero of Mexico, the newly appointed Special
Representative of the Secretary General in Haiti.
