France Urges Global Police Force for Haiti

[Resistance]

The French government called for immediate creation of an international police force to stabilize Haiti yesterday as foreign leaders pressed Haiti's political opposition to reconsider a power-sharing proposal it has repeatedly rejected.

President Bush said the United States would "encourage" other nations "to provide a security presence" in the violence-torn Caribbean nation, but he did not say whether U.S. troops would be involved.

The Bush administration and the French, who have disagreed bitterly at the United Nations in recent times, both favor a political solution. The French have gone further in suggesting publicly that Aristide should resign, while U.S. officials have been working around the idea of him finishing his term.
