Unanimous vote at the UN to end criminal violence in Haiti

Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, in a state of permanent destabilization, has worked a miracle in the Security Council of the Organization of Nations (UN).

The Caribbean island lives under the terror of the criminal gangs of Jimmy Cherizer, nicknamed Barbecue, who prevents the arrival of humanitarian aid to Haitians. Its atrocities have worked as a solvent for geostrategic conflicts at the cost of the war over the invasion of Ukraine: the fifteen members, in a rare confluence of the United States and Russia, without forgetting China, have voted in favor of imposing sanctions in a resolution in which the immediate cessation of violence and criminal activity on the Caribbean island is demanded. This request is accompanied by the imposition of sanctions, including an arms embargo, on the “powerful” leader of the criminal gangs. Cherizes is the only person named in the resolution. Among other situations, his hosts block an important fuel distribution terminal and distribution routes, forcing interruptions of supplies to citizens, under a regime of terror.

As the US ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who proposed the text together with Mexico, has pointed out, it is a warning to Barbecue and any other band of heartless in their actions, as well as an initiative to restore aid to a country that, in addition, faces a new outbreak of cholera.

The sticking point is in the attempt to send a multinational troop to impose order and alleviate the humanitarian crisis. This has been left out, as has reinforcing the Haitian police.

But Thomas-Greenfield has insisted that they are drafting another resolution authorizing a "non-international" mission, limited in space and time, commanded "by a partner country" with the ability to resort to force should it be necessary. necessary.
