Plain-English summary
Declares that Congress mourns the loss of life caused by several days of civil unrest in July 2001 in Kingston, Jamaica. Urges the Government of Jamaica to encourage a process of reconciliation to help resolve the crisis and to conduct an investigation of the events leading up to the civil unrest that is fair, open, timely, and transparent and that provides every segment of the Jamaican population an opportunity to be heard.
Urges the President to: (1) provide, upon the request of the Jamaican Government, technical advice that would help such Government in its investigation of the events leading up to the unrest; (2) continue to cooperate with such Government to halt the illegal transport of firearms and ammunition from the United States to Jamaica; and (3) support the continuation of the democratic process and rule of law in Jamaica.
