Security Council gives green light to “Multinational Security Support” mission for Haiti |
 |
|
On 2 October, the Security Council voted to authorize Member States that have notified the Secretary-General of their participation to form and deploy a “Multinational Security Support” mission to Haiti, to bolster national police efforts to restore security to the violence-plagued nation. The resolution passed by a vote of 13 in favour, with two abstentions. By the terms of the resolution, the Mission will be led by one country, in close cooperation and coordination with the Government of Haiti, for an initial period of twelve months. The text builds on the sanctions regime established by resolution 2653 (2022). It highlights that the nation’s root causes of instability require political solutions and recognizes the need for a Haitian-owned and led political process, with the support of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH). After the vote, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Haiti, Maria Salvador, issued a statement, calling it a positive and decisive step to bring peace to the violence-torn nation.
