Haiti-Bound
Police Delayed

Tel Aviv (JTA) — The departure
of a 30-member Israeli police con-
tingent that was to assume
peacekeeping duties in Haiti has
been postponed pending further
consideration by the Cabinet and
the High Court of Justice.
The 28 men and two women
who volunteered to help restore
stability in Haiti were to have left
Israel for Puerto Rico for pre-
Haiti training. But Prime Minis-
ter Yitzhak Rabin decided to wait
first for the approval of his Cab-
inet at a meeting scheduled for
later in the week.
Mr. Rabin authorized the con-
tingent on Sept. 11, after Presi-
dent Clinton telephoned for
Israeli assistance in the multi-
national effort to bring democra-
tic rule to Haiti. The request
marked the first time Israel was
invited to participate in an in-
ternational force.
At the same time, the High
Court of Justice is considering an
appeal by former Kach activist
Noam Federman to consider the
constitutional legality of sending
Israeli police on an overseas mis-
sion.
Mr. Federman argued that the
peacekeeping mission violates Is-
raeli law, which authorizes the
police to deal only with domestic
issues.
The court apparently agreed
that Mr. Federman had a point,
despite arguments by govern-
ment attorney Arye Romanov
that the policemen were not be-
ing sent as police, but rather as
volunteers who happened to be
police.
Justices Dov Levine, Yitzhak
Zamir and Theodor Orr agreed
that sending volunteers would be
within the government's author-
ity. But they said the government
appeared to be blurring the line
between volunteers and acting
police, and this might create a le-
gal problem.
The justices also criticized the
government for not investigating
the legal issues surrounding the
sending of the peacekeeping mis-
sion. They called on Attorney
General Michael Ben-Yair to pre-
pare a legal opinion on whether
new legislation was needed.
A Jordanian military contin-
gent, meanwhile, reportedly left
Amman to serve in Haiti. The
150-soldier force, dispatched as
the result of a request from Clin-
ton, boarded a U.S. military air-
craft as King Hussein and the
U.S. ambassador to Jordan, Wes-
ley Egan, Jr., looked on.
In the aftermath of the U.S. oc-
cupation of Haiti, some 17 coun-
tries are expected to send
peacekeeping missions to the
Caribbean nation in an effort to
help restore the country's elect-
ed government.
