UN renews Haiti force mandate for six months after fresh gang killings
The 13-3 vote keeps the force in place as Haiti faces gang control, child recruitment and election security concerns.
- On Tuesday, the United Nations Security Council voted to extend the Gang Suppression Force deployment in Haiti until March 31, 2027, to combat violent criminal syndicates ravaging the Caribbean nation.
- Originally designed to reach 5,500 personnel, the GSF replaced the under-equipped Kenya-led Multinational Security Support mission, though recruitment remains short of that goal as gangs persist.
- The vote secured 13 nations in favor with Russia, China, and Pakistan abstaining; the Security Council expressed grave concern over gangs' systematic recruitment of children through coercive tactics.
- United States Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz stated the mission's goal is Haitians regaining control of their security, adding, "Together with them, we can take back the second-oldest republic in our hemisphere."
- Security conditions remain critical as Haiti prepares for its first presidential and legislative elections since 2016, with the resolution emphasizing that stability is essential for ensuring free and fair elections on December 13.
