UN votes to authorize 5,550&member international Haiti force
The UN Security Council voted Tuesday to authorize a mer, 5,550-member international unit with expanded powers to help stop escalating gang violence in Haiti. The resolution, co-sponsored by the United States and Panama, will transform the current Kenya-led multinational force into a “Gang Suppression Force” with the power to arrest suspected gang members, which the current force does not have.
