In honor of Public Media Giving Days, a generous donor will TRIPLE your donation, which means it’ll go 3x as far to support our independent journalism. Democracy Now! is funded by you, and that’s why we’re counting on your donation to keep us going strong. Please give today. Every dollar makes a difference—in fact, gets tripled! Thank you so much.

Powell Rejects UN Inquiry on Aristide’s Ouster

HeadlineApr 06, 2004

Secretary of State Colin Powell rejected calls Monday by Caribbean nations for a United Nations inquiry into the ouster of Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide.

While meeting with the new U.S.-installed government in Haiti, Powell said, “I don’t think any purpose would be served by such an inquiry. Haiti was on the verge of a total security collapse.”

Aristide has maintained he was overthrown in a U.S.-led coup.
