Kenyan High Court Rules Against Police Deployment to Haiti

A Kenyan court has ruled that the government's plan to send police officers to lead a U.N.-approved mission in Haiti is unconstitutional, casting doubt on the initiative aimed at addressing gang violence in the Caribbean nation. The opposition party had challenged the deployment, citing a violation of the constitution. The court stated that under Kenyan law, deploying officers abroad requires a "reciprocal arrangement" with the host government. The government's response to the ruling and the future of the mission remain uncertain, as Haiti continues to grapple with escalating gang violence.
