How did Carter successfully mediate the Haitian crisis?

After retirement, Carter often served as the special envoy of the President of the United States to mediate those thorny international disputes and conflicts. Among them, his successful mediation of the Haitian crisis can best reflect Carter's indomitable diplomatic talent and strategy. Haiti is a small island country in the Caribbean with an area of less than 30,000 square kilometers. 1992, a military regime headed by General Cedras and General Bianchi was established. The United States does not want to see this military regime in its backyard. Since its establishment, the United States has exhausted various means to ban it, including diplomatic persuasion, economic blockade and military threats, but to no avail. 1994, in order to protect the face of its superpower, the United States decided to pull out this nail by force. On September 15, Clinton announced that if Haitian military leaders do not voluntarily hand over power to leave Haiti, the United States will force them to step down by force. As soon as Clinton finished the above speech, he immediately appointed former President Carter as a special envoy to Port-au-Prince to mediate and strive for a peaceful solution to the conflict between the United States and Haiti. On the one hand, Clinton believes that Carter has high prestige, rich experience in mediating complex international conflicts and is good at using strategic means; On the other hand, he believes that if Carter's mediation fails, he will send troops to Haiti and explain to the whole country. Clinton's task for Carter is to reach an agreement before noon on September 18 12, so long as the leaders of Haiti's military regime agree to step down, they can not be asked to leave Haiti. By 7: 30 pm on September 18, an agreement was finally reached. According to the agreement, the parliament will pass an amnesty before June 15 at the latest, Sai and Bi will retire early, and President Aristide will return to Haiti. At 7: 45, the agreement was sent back to the White House. At 8 o'clock sharp, Clinton ordered the cancellation of the invasion plan and the plane flying to Haiti returned to the US base. With Carter's persistence and efforts, an imminent bloody conflict was finally resolved through peaceful negotiations. It can be said that if Carter wavered a little in the crisis, the result would be different. This incident made Carter win great prestige in the world.
