UNITED NATIONS, Feb 24, CMC – United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, Monday said Haiti continues to experience “massive human rights violations” as efforts continue to bring about peace and stability in the French-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country.
Addressing the Human Rights Council, Guterres said that more than a million people have been displaced, and children continue to face “a horrific increase in sexual violence and recruitment into gangs.
“In the coming days, I will put forward proposals to the United Nations Security Council for greater stability and security for the people of Haiti, namely through an effective UN assistance mechanism to support the Multilateral Security Support mission, the national police and Haitian authorities”.
Last week as he addressed CARICOM leaders at their summit in Barbados, Guterres said that the initiative would be similar to one being used by the global organization in Somalia.
