Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S3816-3817)
This resolution expresses Senate support for international efforts to restore security and democratic governance in Haiti. It endorses a United Nations-authorized multinational security mission led by Kenya to combat gang violence, establish safe conditions for elections, and protect humanitarian aid access. The resolution acknowledges Haiti's severe crisis, including widespread gang violence that controls 80 percent of Port-au-Prince, over 350,000 internally displaced persons, and 4.95 million food-insecure people. It calls on the international community to provide financial and personnel support to the security mission while emphasizing the need for human rights protections, civilian involvement in decision-making, and oversight to prevent non-democratic actors from exploiting improved security. The resolution also encourages additional U.S. and international humanitarian assistance beyond the United Nations' February 2024 appeal for $674 million to aid the estimated 3.6 million Haitians needing help.
