Haiti asked nearly a year ago for international help and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres told the 15-member council last month that a"robust use of force" by a multinational police deployment and the use of military assets was needed to restore law and order in Haiti and disarm gangs. The US amended the draft text to say that UN authorisation would be given to countries that notified Secretary General Antonio Guterres of their participation in the mission.The response to Haiti's request for help was delayed due to a struggle to find a country willing to lead a security assistance mission.
Countries have been cautious of supporting the unelected administration of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who has said fair elections cannot be held with the current insecurity. Haiti has been without any elected representatives since January.
