Guyana to assist in the adoption of a UN Support Office in HaitiDPI – Guyana has endorsed the transition of the Multinational Security Mission (MSS) in Haiti into a Gang Suppression Force (GSF) and the establishment of a UN Support Office in Haiti to provide operational and logistical support for the mission.
The GSF will work in close coordination with the Haitian National Police (HNP) and the Haitian armed forces to conduct intelligence-led operations to neutralise gangs, provide security for critical infrastructure, and support humanitarian access.
The 5,550-strong force will also protect vulnerable groups, support the reintegration of former fighters, and help strengthen Haitian institutions.
The A3+is placing its priority on ensuring that there are adequate safeguards for the protection of Haitian’s human rights, including the rights of children who comprise 50% of gang membership.
Additionally, they sought to strengthen the effectiveness and impact of the mission’s work to promote synergy and foster a sense of accountability where necessary.
