“The Biden administration is dropping its push to have the Kenya-led security mission in Haiti transformed into a formal United Nations peacekeeping operation — at least for now. Language about any possible transformation of the struggling mission into a United Nations peacekeeping operation has been dropped from the latest draft resolution after the U.S. and Ecuador could not get support from China and Russia. Instead, both countries will seek just the one-year renewal of the mandate of the Multinational Security Support mission, which will go to a U.N. Security Council vote on Monday. If approved the multinational force would be extended until October 2025. During negotiations that started earlier this month, both Russia and China repeatedly opposed the inclusion of any language asking the Security Council to ‘begin planning to transition’ the security mission into a U.N. peacekeeping operation or ‘to consider’ the move.” (09/29/24)
