22 U.S.C. § 262p–12 — Cancellation of Haiti’s debts to international financial institutions

(a) In general The Secretary of the Treasury should tell the U.S. representative at the IMF, the International Development Association, the Inter-American Development Bank, the International Fund for Agricultural Development, and other similar lending groups to use America's voice and vote to push for three things: (1) canceling all of Haiti's remaining debt to these institutions right away; (2) pausing Haiti's debt payments to these institutions until the debt is fully canceled; and (3) making sure that before February 1, 2015, these institutions give Haiti emergency, humanitarian, and rebuilding help as free grants, not loans, so Haiti doesn't pile up new debt. (b) Use of certain funds for assistance to Haiti The Secretary of the Treasury should tell the U.S. representative at the IMF to push for using some of the extra profit the IMF made selling 12,965,649 ounces of gold. This is money left over after the IMF put enough into its Poverty Reduction and Growth Trust. That extra money should go toward relieving Haiti's debt and, before February 1, 2015, providing grants to Haiti. (c) Securing other relief for Haiti The Secretaries of the Treasury and State should use every diplomatic tool available to get Haiti's remaining debts to other governments, other international lenders, and private lenders canceled too.
