UN Security Council Authorizes 12-Month Extension For Kenya Police In Haiti

Published

The United Nations Security Council has authorized a 12-month extension for the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) in Haiti, which Kenya leads.

Acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, the Council extended the current mandate, as set out in resolution 2699 (2023), to October 2, 2025. This extension aims to support the Haitian National Police in maintaining security and sustaining the gains achieved by the MSS mission.

The decision was immediately welcomed by Kenya’s National Police Service.

“The National Police Service reaffirms its commitment to international law enforcement, working closely with the people of Haiti, and partners supporting the MSS to ensure peace and security in Haiti,” said NPS in a statement.

The UNSC authorised the Haiti mission last year in response to escalating violence, criminal activities, and human rights abuses that threaten the peace, stability, and security of Haiti and the surrounding region.

The mission’s objectives include restoring order, combating criminal gangs, and enabling the interim government to operate effectively.

The first contingent of Kenyan police arrived in Haiti in June. Since then, they have worked alongside local personnel to successfully liberate several areas in the capital, Port-au-Prince, that were previously controlled by criminal gangs.
