Kenyan Court Halts Police Deployment to Haiti

The Kenyan High Court has blocked the government from deploying police officers to Haiti to combat gang violence, ruling that the National Security Council lacks the legal authority to do so without a reciprocal agreement between the two countries. This decision comes after the UN Security Council backed Kenya's offer to lead a multinational security force in Haiti, with concerns raised about the suitability of Kenyan police for the deployment and potential human rights violations. The ruling is seen as a win for the opposition leader who brought the case, and follows another court decision against the government's attempt to overturn a controversial housing levy.
