UN chief Antonio Guterres outlines two options to the Security Council – providing logistical support to a multinational force and Haiti's police and strengthening a UN political mission already in Haiti.
A"robust use of force" by a multinational police deployment and military assets is needed to restore law and order in Haiti and disarm gangs, UN chief Antonio Guterres has told the Security Council in a report seen by Reuters news agency.
"Haiti's current context is not conducive to peacekeeping," Guterres wrote, adding that law and order had to be restored, gangs disarmed, strategic installations and roadways secured, and a state presence re-established to provide basic services. Haiti last year asked for international help to combat violent gangs that have largely overrun the capital Port-au-Prince. Guterres suggested in October that countries send a"rapid action force" to support Haiti's police.
