Haiti - FLASH : Towards an extension of mandate of the Minustah
The Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (Minustah) just released by the United Nations Security Council, covers major developments in Haiti between March 8 and 31 August 2016. See : "Mitigated evolution of security conditions" https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-18535-haiti-security-mitigated-evolution-of-security-conditions.html and "PNH still very dependent of the Minustah" https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-18530-haiti-security-pnh-still-very-dependent-of-the-minustah.html

It is hoped that the current electoral calendar will be maintained, in which case a strategic assessment mission would be deployed to Haiti after 7 February 2017, the date envisaged for the installation of a newly elected President of the Republic, and in time for the inclusion of its recommendations in my next report to the Security Council.

In the meantime, MINUSTAH will continue to prepare for its transition, including through the development of a transition plan and the focused implementation of the Mission’s consolidation plan. To ensure effective support from MINUSTAH police throughout the electoral process, the Department of Peacekeeping Operations is working with police-contributing countries to address the current shortfall of some 250 against the authorized level of 951 officers [...]"
