On Thursday, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution extending the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti until January 2027. Haiti’s UN Ambassador Pierre Ericq Pierre welcomed the decision, highlighting that it reflects a more integrated understanding of the country’s challenges and the need for concrete results. The resolution, authored by the United States and Panama, comes amid escalating gang violence, with armed groups controlling much of the capital and central regions. The UN reported over 8,100 killings in Haiti between January and November last year, warning that the figures are likely underreported.
