Security Council approves a resolution to create a UN “Integrated Office” in Haiti, ending UN peacekeeping role in the country
The Security Council on Monday approved a resolution to create a UN “Integrated Office” in Haiti, designed to support the country’s government in strengthening political stability and good governance. The Office, named BINUH, will replace the peacekeeping mission in Haiti on October 16, putting an end to 15 years of peacekeeping presence in the country.
BINUH will be run by a Special Representative and will work in an advisory capacity with the Haitian authorities and the United Nations Country Team in Haiti (composed of 19 agencies, funds and programmes) with a mandate focused on three main pillars: a) strengthening political stability and good governance; b) preserving a peaceful and stable environment; and c) protecting human rights and strengthening gender equality.
