HAITI: Impending deadline forces greater commitment
There has been a flurry of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Haiti-related activity sparked in part by the looming, and certain to be missed, February deadline for the political transition, and in part by recognition that the situation in Haiti has, in the words of the United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, “reached a boiling point”. On 30 September, the UNSC authorised the transition of the Kenyan-led Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) into a larger and better-supported Gang Suppression Force (GSF), and on 17 October the UNSC passed a resolution strengthening the sanctions regime targeting gangs and their leadership. All this follows on from the publication in August by the Organization of American States (OAS) of a ‘Roadmap for Stability and Peace’ [SSR-25-09]. On 14 October, the UN Integrated Office in Haiti (Binuh) also submitted its latest report to the UN secretary-general.
