UN Security Council renews Haiti Gang Suppression Force mandate
The United Nations Security Council has renewed the mandate of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) in Haiti for six months, extending its authority until March 31, 2027. The resolution, supported by the United States and Panama, passed with 12 votes in favor and three abstentions. The force, which operates in coordination with the Haitian National Police, continues to face challenges regarding its full deployment amidst expanding gang violence.
Separately, the Organization of American States (OAS) and its Secretary General, Albert Ramdin, have called for the full deployment and renewal of the Gang Suppression Force (FRG) mandate. Thirty-two active OAS member states issued a joint declaration supporting this move, emphasizing the need for the international community to provide essential personnel, funding, equipment, and logistical support.
The OAS highlights that the force is critical for re-establishing state authority in gang-controlled areas, securing strategic infrastructure such as airports and ports, and creating the security conditions necessary for upcoming elections.
