HAITI: UNSC ends speculation over MSS
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has voted to extend the deployment of a Kenyan-led multinational security support mission to Haiti (MSS) for a further year. The decision ends speculation as to whether the MSS, which was authorised a year ago in response to the multifaceted crisis in Haiti, would become a traditional UN peacekeeping force, bringing with it the advantage of attracting longer term funding. The move was rejected in the face of opposition from Russia and China. While hailed by Haiti and the international community, the renewal of the MSS, the first deployment of which arrived in June [WR-24-25], comes amid new reports indicating little change in the country’s parlous security situation, and question marks over the impact of the mission, which remains limited due in part to lack of funding.
