iciHaiti - UN : Unanimous vote for the imposition of sanctions on armed gangs in Haiti
24/11/2022 08:59:11

The UN Security Council has unanimously approved the imposition of sanctions on Haitian armed gangs that control large areas of the country, including important infrastructure and communication routes.

Sanctions include not only an arms embargo for non-State actors, but also a travel ban for armed gang leaders outside the country, as well as a freeze on their bank assets.

The fifteen members of the council, including Russia and China, which had previously expressed reservations, supported the resolution drafted by the United States and Mexico to try to curb the violence and thus help the Haitian Government to control the situation at a time when country is suffering from a cholera epidemic.
