               Persons Group in facilitating the political dialogue, and calling on the international
               community to remain committed to Haiti’s efforts in overcoming the ongoing political

           Security Support (MSS) mission to sustainably address the root causes of gang
           violence, which emanate from political, institutional, and socio -economic instability
           and, in this regard, reiterating its call to the international community, including

               respeto de los derechos humanos, la consolidación de la democracia y la

               quienes tengan la capacidad de influir en las bandas a que actúen a fin de que no se
               sigan bloqueando las carreteras necesarias para abastecer los mercados locales y
               acceder a ellos o dañando las fuentes de alimentos, como los cultivos y el ganado, ni
               los suministros médicos y humanitarios, y resaltando el vínculo entre la violencia y
               la inseguridad alimentaria, que ha alcanzado niveles sin precedentes,

               se requieren soluciones políticas y, a este respecto, poniendo de relieve además la
               urgente necesidad de alentar una mayor participación y forjar el consenso más amplio
               posible en el proceso político con miras a que, tan pronto como se cumplan las
               condiciones de seguridad necesarias, se celebren procesos electorales transparentes,

               organizaciones regionales y subregionales, como la CARICOM, y otros asociados

               internacional a que mantenga su compromiso de apoyar los esfuerzos de Haití por

           política, institucional y socioeconómica y, en este sentido, reiterando su llamamiento
           a la comunidad internacional, incluidas las instituciones financieras internacionales,
           para que refuercen el apoyo al desarrollo económico, social e institucional a largo

               Adoptée par le Conseil de sécurité à sa 9430 e séance,
               le 2 octobre 2023

                    Le Conseil de sécurité,
                     Rappelant toutes ses résolutions et déclarations à la presse sur la situation en
               Haïti et réaffirmant la résolution 2692 (2023),
                     Réaffirmant son ferme attachement à la souveraineté, à l’indépendance, à
               l’intégrité territoriale et à l’unité d’Haïti,
                     Soulignant que c’est avant tout au Gouvernement haïtien qu’il incombe
               d’assurer la sécurité, la stabilité et le respect de l’état de droit et des droits humains
               et de protéger les civils sur l’ensemble du territoire haïtien, et se déclarant très
               préoccupé par les actions de plus en plus violentes menées par les groupes armés et
               les réseaux criminels,
                     Réaffirmant que, pour assurer la sûreté publique, faire respecter les droits
               humains, consolider la démocratie et revitaliser le système judiciaire haïtien, il
               importe que la Police nationale d’Haïti soit professionnelle, autonome, pleinement
               opérationnelle, dotée d’un effectif suffisant, bien structurée, bien équipée et capable
               d’exercer l’ensemble des fonctions de police, et encourageant Haïti à poursuivre
               activement ses plans à cet égard,
                     Condamnant avec la plus grande fermeté l’augmentation des violences, des
               activités criminelles et des violations des droits humains et des atteintes à ces droits,
               qui compromettent la paix, la stabilité et la sécurité en Haïti et dans la région,
               notamment les enlèvements, la violence sexuelle et fondée sur le genre, la traite des
               personnes et le trafic de migrants, les homicides, les exécutions extrajudiciaires et la
               contrebande d’armes,
                     Condamnant fermement les violations et atteintes commises sur la personne
               d’enfants en Haïti et très préoccupé par leur gravité et leur nombre, et exhortant tous
               les acteurs, en particulier les bandes organisées et les réseaux criminels, à faire cesser
               immédiatement et à prévenir toutes les violations et atteintes commises sur la
               personne d’enfants, notamment les meurtres et les atteintes à l’intégrité physique, le
               recrutement et l’utilisation d’enfants, les viols et les autres formes de violence
               sexuelle et fondée sur le genre, dont sont victimes notamment les filles, les attaques
               contre les écoles et les hôpitaux, les enlèvements et les refus d’accès humanitaire,
                     Exhortant tous les acteurs, notamment les bandes organisées haïtiennes et leurs
               partisans, à cesser leurs activités déstabilisatrices et criminelles, et exhortant

              également ceux qui ont la capacité d’influencer les bandes à agir pour que les routes
              permettant le ravitaillement des marchés locaux et l’accès à ceux-ci ne soient plus
              bloqués et que les sources d’alimentation ne soient plus dégradées, notamment les
              cultures et le bétail, ainsi que les fournitures médicales et humanitaires, et soulignant
              le lien qui unit violence et insécurité alimentaire, laquelle a atteint des niveaux sans
              précédent,
                    Soulignant qu’il convient d’instaurer en Haïti et dans la région un
              environnement sûr et sécurisé qui permette de faire respecter les droits humains, en
              particulier les droits des femmes, et de protéger les enfants, qui favorise l’état de
              droit, le bon fonctionnement des institutions et une justice efficace et qui facilite

              aux besoins d’Haïti en matière de sécurité et sur le pl an humanitaire, notamment en
              continuant de soutenir le Bureau intégré des Nations Unies en Haïti (BINUH),
                    Insistant sur la nécessité de parvenir à des solutions politiques pour remédier
              aux causes profondes de l’instabilité en Haïti et soulignant à cet égard qu’il importe
              de toute urgence d’encourager une plus grande participation au processus politique
              en forgeant le consensus le plus large possible, l’objectif étant, une fois réunies les
              conditions de sécurité voulues, de mettre en place un processus éle ctoral transparent,
              inclusif et crédible, de tenir des élections libres et régulières et de rétablir les
              institutions démocratiques,
                    Réaffirmant la nécessité pour toutes les parties prenantes haïtiennes de
              continuer, notamment avec l’appui du BINUH, de faciliter un processus politique
              dirigé et contrôlé par les Haïtiens qui permette l’organisation d’élections
              présidentielle et législatives libres et régulières, avec la participation pleine, égale et
              véritable, en toute sécurité, des femmes et la participat ion des jeunes, de la société
              civile et des autres parties prenantes concernées, au moyen d’un dialogue national
              associant toutes les parties haïtiennes, et priant instamment toutes les parties
              prenantes haïtiennes de convenir de toute urgence d’une feuill e de route pour les
              élections qui soit pérenne, assortie de délais et communément acceptée,
                   Prenant note des visites que le Groupe de personnalités éminentes de la
              Communauté des Caraïbes (CARICOM) a menées récemment en Haïti et se félicitant
              que celui-ci demeure résolu à soutenir le dialogue politique,
                    Conscient du rôle clé que jouent les pays de la région, ainsi que les organisations
              régionales et sous-régionales comme la CARICOM et d’autres partenaires
              internationaux, en particulier du rôle clé que jouent la CARICOM et son groupe de
              personnalités éminentes pour faciliter le dialogue politique, et demandant à la
              communauté internationale de continuer d’appuyer les efforts faits par Haïti pour
              surmonter l’impasse politique actuelle et remédier à l’insécurité et à la situation
              humanitaire,

              ministres d’Haïti, qui a demandé le déploiement d’une force internationale spécialisée
              et une assistance technique pour aider la Police nationale d’Haïti à combattre

           Secrétaire général (S/2023/274) en date du 14 avril 2023 et de la déclaration faite le
           6 juillet 2023, au nom de la CARICOM, par la Jamaïque, visant à ce qu’une action de
           sécurité multinationale, assortie du mandat approprié, soit autorisée afin de prêter
           appui à la Police nationale d’Haïti,
                 Vivement préoccupé par la situation humanitaire en Haïti qui continue de se
           dégrader fortement et notamment par le déplacement forcé de personnes, et exhortant
           toutes les parties à mettre fin immédiatement aux violations et atteintes,
                 Constatant qu’il convient de se coordonner, selon que de besoin, avec le BINUH
           et l’Office des Nations Unies contre la drogue et le crime (ONUDC) pour réduire la
           violence des bandes et la violence locale, faire respecter les droits humains et
           renforcer les capacités de protection de l’enfance, et qu’il convient de renforcer
           encore les activités de formation menées par le BINUH et les partenaires
           internationaux en vue de développer toutes les capacités de la police nationale, et pas
           uniquement celles nécessaires aux opérations de sécurité, notamment d’accroître les
           effectifs, de continuer à assurer la vérification des antécédents, d’améliorer les
           compétences en matière de police de proximité, de renforcer les moyens de prévention
           et de répression des violences sexuelles et fondées sur le genre, d’assurer la
           participation et la représentation pleines, égales et véritables des femmes à tous les
           niveaux, de faire respecter l’état de droit et de remettre en état les postes de police
           qui ont été détruits dans les zones sous l’emprise des bandes,
                 Soulignant que, indépendamment des activités menées par la Mission
           multinationale d’appui à la sécurité (MMAS), une action plus vaste est nécessaire
           pour remédier durablement aux causes profondes de la violence en bande organisée,
           qui résultent de l’instabilité politique, institutionnelle et socioéconomique et, à cet
           égard, rappelant qu’il a demandé à la communauté internationale, y compris aux
           institutions financières internationales, qu’elles renfo rcent l’appui qu’elles apportent
           au développement économique, social et institutionnel à long terme d’Haïti et ce,
           même après que la stabilité aura été rétablie dans le pays,
                Soulignant que la communauté internationale doit s’associer au peuple haïtien
           dans une action à long terme visant à promouvoir la reconstruction des institutions
           démocratiques et notamment la tenue d’élections libres et régulières,
                Se félicitant que, le 29 juillet, le Gouvernement kényan ait annoncé qu’il
           envisageait d’accepter de diriger une mission multinationale, à l’invitation d’Haïti et
           en réponse à l’appel lancé par le Secrétaire général, après consultations avec Haïti et
           compte tenu du fait que, dans la résolution 2692 (2023), tous les États Membres ont
           été engagés à apporter à Haïti un appui sur le plan de la sécurité, et se félicitant
           également que plusieurs États Membres aient dit vouloir y participer,
                Prenant note de la lettre datée du 26 septembre 2023 adressée au Président du
           Conseil de sécurité par le Secrétaire général (S/2023/726), dans laquelle le souhait
           d’obtenir une autorisation du Conseil de sécurité au titre du Chapitre VII a été
           exprimé, ainsi que l’espoir que, à l’issue de la visite d’évaluation menée par une
           délégation kényane, la Mission multinationale d’appui à la sécurité contribuerait à
           assurer la sécurité des infrastructures critiques du pays et pourrait mener des
           opérations ciblées en étroite collaboration avec la Police nationale d’Haïti,
                Conscient qu’il importe de réfréner de toute urgence le trafic d’armes et de
           munitions à destination d’Haïti afin de créer un environnement opérationnel sûr
           permettant la fourniture d’un appui international à la sécurité, dont le déploiement
           d’une mission multinationale d’appui à la sécurité,


23-18982                                                                                                       3/7

S/RES/2699 (2023)


                   Prenant note de l’appel lancé le 21 septembre 2023 par le Gouvernement
              kényan, qui a exhorté l’Organisation des Nations Unies à arrêter de toute urgence un
              cadre permettant le bon déploiement d’une mission multinationale d’appui à la
              sécurité, au titre d’une action globale face aux problèmes d’Haïti, et qui a demandé
              au Conseil d’adopter, en vertu du Chapitre VII, une résolution créant une mission
              d’appui à la sécurité adaptée aux besoins spécifiques d’Haïti et de son peuple,
                    Considérant que la situation en Haïti continue de menacer la paix et la sécurité
              internationales et la stabilité dans la région,

              participation à constituer et à déployer, dans le strict respect du droit international,
              notamment du droit international des droits de l’homme, une mission multinationale
              d’appui à la sécurité (MMAS), dont un pays prendra la tête, en coopération et
              coordination étroites avec le Gouvernement haïtien, pour une période initiale de
              douze mois à compter de l’adoption de la présente résolution, autorisation qu’il
              réexaminera neuf mois après l’adoption de la présente résolution, étant entendu que
              l’exécution de cette opération temporaire sera financée au moyen des contributions
              volontaires des États Membres et des organisations régional es et avec leur appui, en
              vue de soutenir l’action menée par la Police nationale d’Haïti pour rétablir la sécurité
              en Haïti et créer les conditions de sécurité propices à la tenue d’élections libres et
              régulières et, à cette fin, de :
                   a)    fournir un appui opérationnel à la Police nationale d’Haïti, notamment
              renforcer ses capacités par la planification et la conduite d’opérations communes
              d’appui à la sécurité, alors que celle-ci s’emploie à lutter contre les bandes et à
              améliorer les conditions de sécurité dans le pays, où règnent enlèvements, violences
              sexuelles et fondées sur le genre, traite des personnes, trafic de migrants, contrebande
              d’armes, homicides, exécutions extrajudiciaires et recrutement d’enfants par des

              sécurité des infrastructures critiques et des lieux de transit comme l’aéroport, les
              ports, les écoles, les hôpitaux et les principaux points d’intersection ;
                    2.   Demande à la Mission multinationale d’appui à la sécurité de contribuer,
              dans le cadre de l’appui qu’elle apporte à la Police nationale d’Haïti conformément
              au paragraphe 1, à permettre aux personnes qui reçoivent une assistance d’accéder,
              sans entrave et en toute sécurité, à l’aide humanitaire ;
                     3.   Décide que, pour prévenir les pertes en vies humaines, la Mission
              multinationale d’appui à la sécurité peut, comme l’a demandé Haïti dans sa lettre
              datée du 22 septembre 2023, en coordination avec la Police nationale d’Haïti, adopter
              à titre exceptionnel, dans les limites de ses capacités et de ses zones de déploiement,
              des mesures temporaires d’urgence de portée limitée, assorties de délais,
              proportionnelles et compatibles avec les objectifs énoncés au paragraphe 1 ci -dessus,
              pour aider la Police nationale d’Haïti à maintenir l’ordre public et la sécurité publique,
              y compris en procédant si nécessaire à des arrestations et à des mises en détention,
              dans le strict respect du droit international, notamment du droit international des
              droits de l’homme, et prie les responsables de la Mission de l’informer de toute
              mesure qui pourrait être prise à ce titre ;
                   4.    Demande aux États Membres et aux organisations régionales de fournir
              d’urgence du personnel, du matériel et les moyens financiers et logistiques

              besoins les plus pressants, et invite ceux qui voudraient apporter leur contribution à

           figurer des informations à ce sujet dans les rapports qui lui seront régulièrement
           présentés ;
                21. Souligne que les États Membres, les organes, organismes et institutions
           des Nations Unies et d’autres organisations internation ales, dont les institutions

           développement institutionnel, social et économique d’Haïti, en particulier à long
           terme, afin que le pays puisse retrouver et conserver sa stabilité et f aire reculer la

           de parvenir le plus rapidement possible à un compromis permettant de dégager le
           consensus le plus large possible ;

                    настоятельно призывая всех субъектов, в том числе гаитянские банды и
               их пособников, прекратить дестабилизирующую и преступную деятельность,
               настоятельно призывая также тех, кто имеет возможность влиять на эти банды,
               принять меры для того, чтобы положить конец блокированию дорог, которые
               необходимы для поставки товаров на местные рынки и обеспечения доступа к
               ним, и причинению ущерба источникам продовольствия, включая сельскохозяй-
               ственные посевы и скот, а также медицинским и гуманитарным грузам, и особо
               отмечая взаимосвязь между насилием и отсутствием продовольственной без-
               опасности, достигшим беспрецедентного уровня,
                    подчеркивая необходимость создания в Гаити и этом регионе безопасной
               обстановки, позволяющей обеспечивать уважение прав человека, в частности
               прав женщин, и защиту детей, поддерживать верховенство права и работу дей-
               ственных государственных институтов и эффективной судебной системы и
               предпринимать гуманитарные усилия по доставке необходимых для жизни
               воды, топлива, продовольствия и предметов медицинского назначения,
                    ссылаясь на свою резолюцию 2653 (2022), в которой были введены санк-
               ционные меры в порядке реагирования на угрозу международному миру и без-
               опасности в этом регионе, создаваемую высокими уровнями бандитизма и дру-
               гой преступной деятельности, а также масштабными незаконными потоками
               оружия и финансовых активов, и ссылаясь также на резолюцию 2664 (2022),
               которая изменяет изъятие из мер по замораживанию активов, предусмотренное
               в пункте 10 резолюции 2653 (2022),
                    подтверждая, что международное сообщество твердо настроено удовле-
               творять потребности Гаити в сфере безопасности и ее гуманитарные потребно-
               сти, в частности продолжать оказывать поддержку Объединенному представи-
               тельству Организации Объединенных Наций в Гаити (ОПООНГ),
                    подчеркивая, что для устранения коренных причин нестабильности в Гаити
               требуются политические решения, и в связи с этим обращая особое внимание на
               настоятельную необходимость содействия более широкому участию в полити-
               ческом процессе и формированию как можно более широкого консенсуса в его
               рамках в целях осуществления транспарентных, инклюзивных и внушающих
               доверие избирательных процессов, проведения свободных и честных выборов и
               восстановления демократических институтов, как только для этого будут со-
               зданы необходимые условия в плане безопасности,
                    вновь заявляя о том, что всем заинтересованным сторонам в Гаити необхо-
               димо продолжать — в том числе при поддержке со стороны ОПООНГ — содей-
               ствовать осуществлению самими гаитянами и под их руководством политиче-
               ского процесса в целях создания условий для организации свободных и честных
               парламентских и президентских выборов при всестороннем, равноправном, зна-
               чимом и безопасном участии женщин и с вовлечением молодежи, гражданского
               общества и других соответствующих заинтересованных сторон на основе ин-
               клюзивного межгаитянского национального диалога, и просит все заинтересо-
               ванные стороны в Гаити срочно согласовать надежный, предусматривающий
               четкие сроки и признаваемый всеми сторонами поэтапный план проведения вы-
               боров,
                    принимая к сведению недавние визиты Группы видных деятелей Кариб-
               ского сообщества (КАРИКОМ) в Гаити и приветствуя его неизменную готов-
               ность содействовать проведению политического диалога,
                    учитывая ключевую роль стран этого региона, региональных и субрегио-
               нальных организаций, таких как КАРИКОМ, и других международных партне-
               ров, в частности ключевую роль КАРИКОМ и его Группы видных деятелей в

2/8                                                                                           23-18982

                                                                                      S/RES/2699 (2023)


           содействии проведению политического диалога, и призывая международное со-
           общество сохранять приверженность оказанию Гаити поддержки в ее усилиях
           по преодолению нынешнего политического тупика и нормализации обстановки
           в плане безопасности и гуманитарной ситуации,
                принимая к сведению прямой призыв к развертыванию специализирован-
           ных международных сил и оказанию технической помощи для содействия уси-
           лиям Гаитянской национальной полиции по борьбе с высоким уровнем банди-
           тизма и восстановлению безопасности, с которым Совет министров Гаити вы-
           ступил 6 октября 2022 года, принимая к сведению также письмо Генерального
           секретаря от 8 октября 2022 года (S/2022/747), доклад Генерального секретаря
           от 14 апреля 2023 года (S/2023/274) и заявление Ямайки от имени КАРИКОМ,
           которое она сделала в Совете Безопасности 6 июля 2023 года, призвав санкцио-
           нировать многонациональные усилия по обеспечению безопасности с соответ-
           ствующим мандатом для оказания поддержки Гаитянской национальной поли-
           ции,
                будучи серьезно обеспокоен дальнейшим значительным ухудшением гума-
           нитарной ситуации в Гаити, в том числе вынужденным перемещением людей, и
           настоятельно призывая все стороны немедленно прекратить нарушения и
           ущемления,
                принимая во внимание необходимость сообразно обстоятельствам коорди-
           нировать действия с ОПООНГ и УНП ООН для снижения уровня бандитизма и
           насилия среди населения, обеспечения уважения прав человека и создания по-
           тенциала для защиты детей, а также необходимость дальнейшей активизации
           усилий ОПООНГ и международных партнеров по учебной подготовке для рас-
           ширения общих возможностей национальной полиции, с тем чтобы она могла
           не только обеспечивать безопасность, но и осуществлять другую деятельность,
           в том числе усилий по увеличению числа сотрудников национальной полиции,
           продолжению их проверки, повышению квалификации полицейских в области
           работы с населением, укреплению потенциала по предотвращению сексуаль-
           ного и гендерного насилия и реагированию на него, обеспечению всесторон-
           него, равноправного и значимого участия женщин в прилагаемых усилиях и их
           представленности на всех уровнях, поддержанию верховенства права и восста-
           новлению разрушенных полицейских участков в районах, контролируемых бан-
           дами,
                 особо отмечая, что, помимо работы многонациональной миссии по под-
           держке в сфере безопасности (ММПБ), необходимы более широкие усилия по
           последовательному устранению коренных причин бандитизма, связанных с по-
           литической, институциональной и социально-экономической нестабильностью,
           и в связи с этим вновь обращаясь к международному сообществу, в том числе к
           международным финансовым учреждениям, с призывом усилить поддержку Га-
           ити для содействия долгосрочному социально-экономическому и институцио-
           нальному развитию этой страны даже после того, как в ней будет восстановлена
           стабильность,
                особо отмечая также, что международному сообществу необходимо со-
           трудничать с народом Гаити в долгосрочных усилиях по содействию восстанов-
           лению демократических институтов, включая организацию свободных и чест-
           ных выборов,
                с удовлетворением отмечая, что после консультаций с Гаити и после того,
           как Совет Безопасности в резолюции 2692 (2023) единогласно призвал оказы-
           вать Гаити поддержку в обеспечении безопасности, правительство Кении
           29 июля заявило, что оно готово положительно отреагировать на приглашение

               Гаити и призыв Генерального секретаря Организации Объединенных Наций воз-
               главить многонациональную миссию, и с удовлетворением отмечая также по-
               ложительную реакцию нескольких государств-членов в отношении участия в
               ней,
                    принимая к сведению письмо Генерального секретаря от 26 сентября
               2023 года на имя Председателя Совета Безопасности (S/2023/726), в котором ре-
               шительно заявляется о желании получить одобрение Совета Безопасности на
               основании главы VII Устава и выражается надежда на то, что после посещения
               страны кенийской делегацией в целях проведения оценки многонациональная
               миссия по поддержке в сфере безопасности будет помогать обеспечивать без-
               опасность объектов критически важной инфраструктуры страны и сможет про-
               водить целенаправленные операции в тесном взаимодействии с Гаитянской
               национальной полицией,
                    признавая важность и настоятельную необходимость пресечения незакон-
               ного ввоза оружия и боеприпасов в Гаити для того, чтобы создать безопасную
               оперативную обстановку для оказания международной поддержки в обеспече-
               нии безопасности, в том числе для развертывания многонациональной миссии
               по поддержке в сфере безопасности,
                     принимая к сведению, что 21 сентября 2023 года правительство Кении
               настоятельно призвало Организацию Объединенных Наций в срочном порядке

               плексных мер по решению проблем, с которыми сталкивается Гаити, и призвало
               Совет Безопасности принять резолюцию на основании главы VII Устава, в кото-
               рой оговорить, какой должна быть эта миссия по поддержке в сфере безопасно-
               сти, чтобы отвечать конкретным потребностям Гаити и ее народа,
                    определяя, что положение в Гаити продолжает представлять угрозу между-
               народному миру и безопасности, а также стабильности в этом регионе,
                   действуя на основании главы VII Устава Организации Объединенных

               действуя в тесном сотрудничестве с правительством Гаити и координируя дей-
               ствия с ним, на первоначальный период в двенадцать месяцев с момента приня-
               тия настоящей резолюции при том условии, что через девять месяцев после ее
               принятия будет проведен обзор, при том понимании, что расходы на осуществ-
               ление этой временной операции будут покрываться за счет добровольных взно-
               сов и поддержки со стороны отдельных государств-членов и региональных ор-
               ганизаций, и в строгом соответствии с международным правом, включая приме-
               нимые нормы международного права прав человека, для содействия усилиям Га-
               итянской национальной полиции по восстановлению безопасности в Гаити и со-

           22 сентября 2023 года, во избежание гибели людей многонациональная миссия
           по поддержке в сфере безопасности может, координируя действия с Гаитянской
           национальной полицией, принимать в порядке исключения в пределах своих
           возможностей и районов развертывания неотложные временные меры, которые
           должны быть ограниченными по масштабам и срокам, пропорциональными и
           соответствовать задачам, поставленным в пункте 1 выше, для оказания помощи

               Ecuador and United States of America: draft resolution

                    The Security Council,
                     Recalling all its previous resolutions and press statements, and reaffirming
               resolution 2692 (2023), on the situation in Haiti,
                     Reaffirming its strong commitment to the sovereignty, independence, territorial
               integrity and unity of Haiti,
                     Emphasizing that the Government of Haiti has the primary responsibility for the
               provision of security, ensuring stability and respect for the rule of law and human
               rights, and for the protection of civilians across the territory of Haiti, and expressing
               great concern at the increasingly violent actions taken by armed groups and criminal
               networks,
                     Reaffirming the importance of a professional, self-sustaining, fully functioning
               Haitian National Police of adequate size, structure and equipment, able to conduct the
               full spectrum of police functions, for the maintenance of public safety, respect for
               human rights, consolidation of democracy and the revitalization of Haiti’s system of
               justice and encouraging Haiti to pursue actively its plans in these respects,
                     Condemning in the strongest terms the increasing violence, criminal activities,
               and human rights abuses and violations which undermine the peace, stability, and
               security of Haiti and the region, including kidnappings, sexual and gender-based
               violence, trafficking in persons and the smuggling of migrants, homicides,
               extrajudicial killings, as well as arms smuggling,
                     Strongly condemning and expressing deep concern over the gravity and numbers
               of violations and abuses committed against children in Haiti; and urging all actors,
               especially gangs and criminal networks, to immediately end and prevent all violations
               and abuses against children, including those involving killing and maiming,
               recruitment and use, rape and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence,
               particularly against girls, attacks on schools and hospitals, abduction, and denial of
               humanitarian access,
                     Urging all actors, including Haitian gangs and their supporters, to cease their
               destabilizing and criminal activities, and further urging those with the ability to
               influence the gangs to act to stop the blocking of roads required for the supplying of
               and access to local markets and the damaging of sources of food, including crops and
               livestock, as well as medical, and humanitarian supplies, and highlighting the link
               between violence and food insecurity, that has reached unprecedented levels,

S/2023/709

                   Stressing the need to create a safe and secure environment in Haiti and the region
             that enables respect for human rights, in particular women’s rights, and the protection
             of children, is conducive to the rule of law, functional state institutions and an
             effective judicial system, and facilitates the humanitarian delivery of life -sustaining
             water, fuel, food, and medical supplies,
                   Recalling its resolution 2653 (2022), which established sanctions measures in
             response to the threat to international peace and security in the region posed by the
             high levels of gang violence and other criminal activities, as well as of illicit arms
             and financial flows, and further recalling resolution 2664 (2022) which supersedes
             the asset freeze exception set forth in paragraph 10 of resolution 2653,
                  Reaffirming the commitment of the international community to address the
             security and humanitarian needs in Haiti, including through offering continued
             support to the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH),
                   Stressing that addressing the root causes of instability in Haiti requires political
             solutions, and in this regard further emphasizing the urgent need to encourage wider
             participation and forge the broadest possible consensus in the political process, with,
             as soon as necessary security conditions are met, a view to holding transparent,
             inclusive, and credible electoral processes and free and fair elections, and restoring
             democratic institutions,
                    Reiterating the need for all Haitian stakeholders, including with BINUH’s
             support, to continue to facilitate a Haitian-led, Haitian-owned political process to
             permit the organization of free and fair legislative and presidential elections, with the
             full, equal, meaningful, and safe participation of women and the engagement of youth,
             civil society, and other relevant stakeholders through an inclusive inter-Haitian
             national dialogue, and further requests all Haitian stakeholders to urgently reach an
             agreement on a sustainable, time-bound and commonly accepted roadmap for
             elections,
                  Taking note of the recent visits by the Eminent Persons Group of Caribb ean
             Community (CARICOM) to Haiti and welcoming its continued commitment to
             supporting the political dialogue,
                   Recognizing the key role of countries in the region, as well as regional and
             subregional organizations such as the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and other
             international partners, in particular the key role of CARICOM and its Eminent
             Persons Group in facilitating the political dialogue, and calling on the international
             community to remain committed to Haiti’s efforts in overcoming the ongoing polit ical
             stalemate and security and humanitarian situation,
                   Taking note of the direct appeal of 6 October 2022 of Haiti’s Council of
             Ministers for the deployment of a specialized international force and technical
             assistance to support the Haitian National Police’s efforts to address high levels of
             gang violence and re-establish security, further taking note of the letter dated
             8 October 2022 of the Secretary-General (S/2022/747), the report of the Secretary-General (document S/2023/274) dated 14 April 2023, and Jamaican statement on
             behalf of CARICOM before the Security Council on 6 July 2023 to au thorize
             multinational security efforts with the appropriate mandate to support the Haitian
             National Police,
                  Gravely concerned by the continued and significant deterioration of the
             humanitarian situation in Haiti, including the forced displacement of persons, and
             urging all parties to immediately cease violations and abuses,
                   Taking note of the need to coordinate, as appropriate, with BINUH and UNODC
             to reduce gang and community violence, as well as to ensure respect for human rights


2/6                                                                                                       23-18981

                                                                                                       S/2023/709

           and build child protection capacity, and the need to further strengthen training efforts
           by BINUH and international partners to expand the overall ca pacities of the national
           police beyond security operations, including expanding the number of national police
           officers, continued vetting, enhancing community-oriented policing skills,
           strengthening capacity to prevent and respond to sexual and gender-based violence,
           ensuring the full, equal, and meaningful involvement and representation of women at
           all levels, ensuring respect for the rule of law, and restoring police stations that have
           been destroyed in gang-controlled areas,
                 Underscoring the need for broader efforts beyond the work of the Multinational
           Security Support (MSS) mission to sustainably address the root causes of gang
           violence, which emanate from political, institutional, and socio -economic instability
           and, in this regard, reiterating its call to the international community, including
           international financial institutions, to enhance support for long -term economic, social
           and institutional development in Haiti even after its stability is restored,
                Underscoring the need for the international community to work with the people
           of Haiti in a long-term effort to promote the rebuilding of democratic institutions,
           including the organization of free and fair elections,
                 Welcoming the announcement of 29 July by the Government of Kenya to
           positively consider leading a multinational mission at the invitation of Haiti and in
           response to the appeal by the UN Secretary-General, following consultations with
           Haiti and the unanimous encouragement of security support to Haiti by the Security
           Council in resolution 2692 (2023), and further welcoming the positive responses to
           participate made by several Member States,
                 Taking note of the letter dated 26 September 2023 from the Secretary-General
           addressed to the President of the Security Council ( S/2023/726), strongly expressing
           the desire to obtain authorization from the Security Council under Chapter VII, and
           which expresses hope, following an assessment visit by a Kenyan delegation, that the
           Multinational Security Support mission would help ensure the security of the
           country’s critical infrastructure and would be able to carry out targeted operations, in
           close collaboration with the Haitian National Police,
                 Recognizing the importance and urgency of curbing the illicit trafficking of arms
           and ammunition to Haiti to the creation of a safe operating environment for
           international security support, including the deployment of a multinational security
           support mission,
                 Taking note of the call made by the Government of Kenya on 21 September 2023
           urging the United Nations to urgently deliver an appropriate framework to faci litate
           the deployment of Multinational Security Support as part of a holistic response to
           Haiti’s challenges, calling on the Security Council to approve a resolution under
           Chapter VII that tailors the security support mission to the specific needs of Haiti and
           its people,
                 Determining that the situation in Haiti continues to constitute a threat to
           international peace and security and to stability in the region,
                Acting under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
                 1.    Authorizes Member States that have notified the Secretary-General of their
           participation to form and deploy a Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission
           with a lead country, in close cooperation and coordination with the Government of
           Haiti, for an initial period of twelve months following the adoption of this resolution,
           to be reviewed nine months after the adoption of this resolution, on the understanding
           that the cost of implementing this temporary operation will be borne by voluntary
           contributions and support from individual Member States and regional organizations,

23-18981                                                                                                      3/6
