Our discussion of the Haitian justice system organization in appendix III is 

based primarily on interviews of Haitian and U.S. officials and secondary 

sources. Except for the Haitian constitution, for the most part, we did not 

review specific Haitian laws.

We performed our work from November 1999 through September 2000 in 

accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.

We are providing copies of this report to the Honorable 

Madeleine K. Albright, the Secretary of State; the Honorable Janet Reno, 

the U.S. Attorney General; the Honorable J. Brady Anderson, Administrator 

for the U.S. Agency for International Development; and interested 

congressional committees. We will make copies available to others upon 

request.

If you and your staff have any questions regarding this report, please 

contact me at (202) 512 4128. Other GAO contacts and staff 

acknowledgments are listed in appendix VI.
