Pass the Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act
Pass the Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act
The Issue
Ask Congress to pass the Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act, a bill that requires the Secretary of State to submit a public report to Congress, annually, identifying the ties between criminal gangs and political and economic elites in Haiti. Most importantly, the bill includes sanctions on assets and VISA's, as well as an assessment on how the collusion threatens the Haitian people, Haitian and U.S. assets; and an assessment on potential actions the the U.S. government and Haitian government can take to address their findings.
Why should we sign this now?
The proliferation of gangs, associated with kidnapping, rapes, and murders, has made life for Haitians a nightmare.There are specific economic and political elites behind the gangs. They must be held accountable.
Why is this law important?
The law weakens the infrastructure that helps the gangs in Haiti exist. The law also allows the intelligence community and government partners to provide a government document identify the direct issues and people that are contributing to the humanitarian crisis in Haiti. This document could then be used for further action on those identified in the report.
Who supports this bill?
This legislation has received bipartisan support, but needs more co-sponsors in the U.S. Congress.
