                    The Security Council,
                    Recalling all its previous resolutions on Haiti, including resolution 2547 (2020),
               as well as S/PRST/2021/7,
                     Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial
               integrity and unity of Haiti,
                     Recalling in particular its resolution 2476 (2019), which established the United
               Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) beginning on 16 October 2019 based on
               the report of the Secretary-General of 1 March 2019 (document S/2019/198),
                    Condemning in the strongest terms the assassination of the President of Haiti
               Jovenel Moïse on 7 July 2021, and urging the Government of Haiti to hold the
               perpetrators accountable in a timely manner,
                   Noting with deep concern the acute political, economic, security, and
               humanitarian crises in Haiti and reaffirming the commitment of the international
               community to continue to support the people of Haiti,
                    Expressing grave concern about the recent rise in gang violence, and underlining
               the importance of addressing such violence and its root causes in a comprehensive
               manner, including through strengthened rule of law, socio-economic measures,
               violence reduction programs, weapons and ammunition management, and cutting the
               linkage between political actors and gangs,
                     Recognizing the important role of neighboring countries, regional and
               subregional organizations such as the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and other
               international partners, and calling on the international community to remain
               committed to supporting efforts to address Haiti’s humanitarian, stabilization,
               reconstruction and sustainable development challenges,
                    Stressing the primary responsibility of the Government of Haiti to address
               longstanding drivers of instability and inequality, and to engage with other
               stakeholders, including civil society, women, youth, and the private sector, to deliver
               durable solutions to Haiti’s immediate and long-term challenges,
                    Deeply concerned about the devastating effects of the earthquake that struck
               Haiti on 14 August 2021, followed by the passage of Tropical Storm Grace on
               16 August 2021, which have resulted in significant loss of lives, damage to property,

               soon as technically feasible, and with the full, equal and meaningful participation of
