Security Council later voted to reactivate an oil- and-arms embargo on Haiti, which will take effect this week if the Haitian military does not abide by the accord.

The infant had been born with a rare, fatal condition called hypoplastic left-heart syndrome, in which the heart's main pumping chamber is improperly developed. Without a transplant at Loma Linda, the only institution in the area that performs such surgery on infants, doctors said Jesse would die in a matter of weeks. The impending tragedy had the makings of a front-page story, which it quickly became. With help from a family priest and a local right-to-life group, a press conference was arranged that brought...
