Security Council Extends Haiti Mission
Security Council Extends Haiti Mission
New York, May 31 2005 6:00PM
Determining that the situation in Haiti continues to threaten international peace and security, the United Nations Security Council this afternoon extended the mandate of the UN mission to that country until 24 June, stating its intention to extend it further at that time.
The action came after the Council’s 20 May
consideration of a report on Haiti in which
Secretary-General Kofi Annan commended the UN Stabilization
Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), for carrying out crucial tasks
in difficult circumstances, saying it created a security
environment in which the political transition could take
place.
In addition to recommending the mandate extension,
the report also called for an expansion of the mission to
7,500 troops from the 6,700 authorized, with 6,211 on the
ground as of 9 May. The new police ceiling should be raised
to 1,897 from 1,622 authorized and 1,413 on the ground, he
said.
