Haitian arms embargo partially lifted

The U.S. government relaxed some of its arms embargo against Haiti as a move to help combat rampant violence. The change to the embargo- which was established in 1991- will permit the Haitian government to apply for licenses to equip police but will continue to restrict individuals and private firms from buying arms.
