Haiti called today at the United Nations for the full deployment of the Gang Response Force, urging the international community to accelerate the deployment process. Haiti's Permanent Representative to the United Nations made the appeal during a meeting at the organization.
The objective is to reach the planned strength of 5,500 personnel for the multinational force. The request arises in the context of the severe security crisis the country faces, with gang violence continuing to affect the civilian population.
The force was previously approved by the international community to help restore order in Haiti, but its complete implementation has faced delays. The Haitian government is now reinforcing the appeal for the commitments made to be fulfilled with greater urgency.
