U.N. Security Council Approves Establishment of Multinational ‘Gang Suppression Force’ In Haiti

As gang violence in Haiti continues to inflict devastating effects on Haiti’s population, the U.N. Security Council approved a resolution authorizing a ‘Gang Suppression Force’ to confront the mounting security crisis. It will replace the previous Kenyan-led ‘Security Support Mission,’ and work in collaboration with the Haitian National Police and Haitian armed forces with primary goals of neutralizing armed gangs and strengthening infrastructure to build Haiti’s ability to assume responsibility for its own security.
