The United Nations Security Council I will expressed within the day for the creation of an international support force her police in Haiti, where the gang violence he’s got turned into a scourge in recent years, according to his program that was made public yesterday Sunday.
A year ago, Mr Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henri et al Secretary General of the UN Antonio Guterres call for an international force to be deployed to assist the police, as the body is unable to cope with the violence, which keeps getting worse.
But the international community, scalded by painful experiences of the past and wary of the danger of being trapped in a murderous trap, found it difficult to find the country that would take the responsibility of leading the international forcewhich will not operate under the flag of the United Nations.
At the end of July, Kenya has finally announced that it is ready to lead this mission and deploy 1,000 police officers to the impoverished Caribbean nation.
And the USAwho mean to offer logistical support but a priori not to deploy either police or military in the field, announced at the end of September that other countries have pledged to contribute to this “multinational mission” in order to restore security.
Jamaica, the Bahamas and Antigua and Barbuda have made it known that will participate.
After fermenting for weeks on the mandate of this mission, the member states of the Security Council will speak in the afternoon (New York time) on a draft decision intended to give the green light. Compiled by Washington.
During the UN General Assembly ten days ago, the Haitian Prime Minister once again pleaded with the international community to act “urgently” to help his fellow citizens.
According to a report signed by Mr. Guterres and released this week, the multidimensional crisis Haiti is experiencing has worsened over the past year.
Gang violence, which has tightened its grip and expanded its control in the capital and beyond, has become “even more blatant and more barbaric,” the Secretary-General said, referring to the use of rape to instill terror, the development of free snipers on rooftops, people being burned alive, as well as the appearance in the spring of a group of citizens who judge themselves.
In total, from October 2022 to June 2023, some 2,800 murders were recorded in the country, including 80 minors, according to the text.
The violence is fueled by the arms trade, which comes mainly from the US.
China – a country that has veto power in the SA – has expressed skepticism in recent months about sending an international force and insists that the greater need is to control the arms trade, which is growing, especially from Florida.
Generally, SA decisions need to receive at least nine votes and not be vetoed by any of its five permanent member states (US, Russia, China, France and Britain) to be approved.
