RECOMMENDED DECISIONS

International organizations should deploy observers to the February 18 OAS session and circulate Ramdin's progress report to field operations within 24 hours. Governments considering GSF contributions should treat the February 18 meeting as the deadline for updated force generation commitments. NGOs and businesses should assess operational plans against two OAS outcome scenarios -- February 17, 2026 affirmation of current trajectory versus pressure for formal political dialogue mechanism. Analysts should track whether OAS language on the February 7 CPT expiration characterizes the Fils-Aime government as a legitimate caretaker or as requiring additional mandate. CONFIDENCE High confidence based on official institutional reporting.
