The United Nations Security Council has approved the deployment of an armed multinational force to Haiti to address the country's rampant gang violence and political paralysis. The force, expected to be led by Kenya, will have a 12-month mandate and aims to strengthen local security and reinforce the Haitian National Police in their fight against the gangs. Thirteen members of the Security Council voted in favor of the resolution, with Russia and China abstaining. The force will not be under UN control but will receive support from various countries, including Kenya, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, and Jamaica. The resolution also calls for a global arms embargo on Haiti, except for approved security purposes.
