SUBJECT: GOH NONCOMMITTAL ON SUDAN RESOLUTION

REF: SECSTATE 195763

Director of political affairs Weiner Jean Baptiste told
poloff December 8 that the GOH has not determined their
position on the resolution for Sudan. Upon hearing the USG
position, Jean Baptiste said that from a technical
perspective it seems very reasonable, and in line with
Haiti's position. Jean Baptiste said that Haiti, which holds
an observer status with the African Union, will also seek the
AU's position. Without a doubt, we condemn the government of
Sudan, but we do not wish to isolate the country, which, he
said, will aggravate the crisis.
