The United Nations leadership should support the Haitian authorities’ long-standing request to transform the troubled Kenyan-led Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission to Haiti into a UN operation.

Secretary-General António Guterres expressed deep concern on Monday following the announcement by Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia and affiliated groups, of a political charter proposing the establishment of a rival governing authority in RSF-controlled areas to the transitional Government.

Months after Haiti filed a formal request for the return of blue-helmet United Nations peacekeepers to help fight criminal armed gangs, the head of the world agency said he is ready to present a proposal to the U.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres says he will request that the United Nations assumes funding for the structural and logistical expenses of a multinational force in Haiti that is struggling to fight violent gangs.

The United Nations on Thursday launched an appeal for more than $900 million to help 3.9 million people in 2025 in Haiti, a country ravaged by gang violence where nearly half the population suffers from acute food insecurity.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres says human rights are being “suffocated” around the world. He lashed out at voices of division and anger who see human rights as a barrier to their quest for power and profit.

With no end to numerous protracted conflicts - not least in Ukraine, three years to the day since the full-scale Russian invasion - UN chief António Guterres on Monday scorned the world’s “warmongers” for trampling on people’s most fundamental rights.
