create a new approach to promoting development based on respect for economic development plans of the region’s governments;
terminate all unilateral economic sanctions;
develop legislation that triggers an automatic review of bilateral assistance when there is an extra-constitutional transfer of power;
declassify all U.S. government archives relating to past coups d'etat, dictatorships, and human rights abuse; and
work with Latin American and Caribbean governments on far-reaching reform of the Organization of American States.
