The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) yesterday welcomed the decision taken by the Governments of The Bahamas and Jamaica to join Kenya to contribute to a multi-national force in Haiti to assist it to counter its security challenges.
CARICOM says it hopes that the establishment of the multi-national force will be given full endorsement by the United Nations Security Council as a demonstration of the commitment of the international community to improve the security and humanitarian conditions of the people of Haiti and support restoration of law and order.
At their meeting in Trinidad and Tobago in July 2023, CARICOM Heads of Government underscored their grave concern over the severe humanitarian, security and governance crises facing their sister Member State.
CARICOM reiterated its pledge to continue efforts to collaborate with the Haitian Government and all stakeholders to find a Haitian-led solution to the plight facing their nation.
