The Security Council is addressing the deepening crisis in Haiti on Wednesday, centered on the Secretary-General’s latest report which highlights a security landscape of both intensified enforcement and rising civilian risk. While operations including by the UN-backed Gang Suppression Force (GSF) between December and February resulted in the deaths of 1,343 suspected gang members, the humanitarian cost remains staggering. The UN Special Representative told ambassadors elections are the “only legitimate path” back to political stability, while his counterpart with the GSF said its success depends on “effective coordination”.
