The United Nations Haiti Right expert says that the Haiti crisis is “implemented”

(Reuters) – The United Nations rights expert said on Tuesday that he believes that resolving the escalating insecurity crisis in the Caribbean nation is “implemented”, if the law enforcement is properly implemented and that neighboring countries are playing their role.

“We are talking about 2500, perhaps 3,000 international police trained well and equipped. They are implemented,” William O’Neill, an expert appointed to the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Haiti, told a press newspaper.

The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to discuss a model to support mixed security that would create a budget listed office to help provide a current voluntary task after there are no contributions that may not have left unaccreditled in an unprecedented manner.

The Haiti government, which has called for urgent international security support since 2022, has recently requested an official mission of peacekeeping at the United Nations to reinforce police in deficiency, but this met opposition from Russia and China.

But O’Neil said that the support office can help provide major equipment such as spare parts, helicopters and adequate vehicles to move in the capital of Haiti and the mountainous rural terrain.

He also called on neighboring countries, especially the United States – the source of most Haiti illegal arms – to do more to prevent illegal weapons flow to criminal groups, noting that Haiti border police are not equipped to prevent their entry.

“There is no rifle or bullet manufactured in Haiti,” he said. “If you stop flowing, the gangs will eventually run out of ammunition. This is a faster, faster and safer way to dismantle them from having to enter and fight them.”

He also urged the United States, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, the Turks, and the Kikos to stop deporting immigrants to Haiti.

“You cannot ensure a safe safe return, which is required under international law,” he said.

More than a million internal homeless people, food prices are rising, and the Le Nouvelge newspaper in Haiti reported that the rich Punt-Ville suburb, which hosts diplomats through helicopters platforms, was one of the last free group in the capital.

“The risk of capital decrease under gang control is clear,” O’Neill said. “There is no day to lose.”
