The United Kingdom voted in favour of a UN Security Council resolution to sustain the Special Political Mission in Haiti, BINUH, emphasizing continued focus on the political track. The resolution complements prior authorization of security support and a Gang Suppression Force, with the UK urging Haitian politicians to prioritize people over political maneuvering. Key demands include resolving the Transitional Presidential Council impasse by 7 February, advancing free and fair elections, and ensuring inclusive governance. The UK welcomed the resolution’s maintenance of resources for protecting women and children, who face extreme violence, including gender-based attacks. The statement called for the mission to promote women’s full participation in political processes and engage with women’s civil society organizations.
