US to introduce UN resolution for multinational force in Haiti
State Department says US will provide resources to the force after Kenya expresses willingness to lead Haiti mission.
Washington, DC – The United States has said it plans to introduce a resolution at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to authorise a “multinational force” in Haiti, after Kenya expressed a willingness to lead the mission.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said any mission to Haiti, which is struggling with spiraling gang violence, would first need UNSC authorisation.“The United States along with Ecuador are going to introduce a resolution at the UN Security Council to take that step,” he said.
Miller did not specify when exactly the resolution would be put forward, but he said it would happen in the near future.
“The second step is that the government of Kenya needs to conduct an assessment mission, which they plan to do in the coming days and weeks,” said Miller, adding that Kenya will then correspond with allied nations about the force’s needs and what countries may participate.
“We are committed to finding the resources to support this multinational force,” he told reporters.
