A UN human Rights Expert, William O'Neill, has called for a specialized international force to help combat gang violence in Haiti and an immediate Arms Embargo. O'Neill's 10-day visit to Haiti revealed a country suffering from violence, fear, and suffering, with all types of human rights being violated. Gangs now control up to 80% of the capital, leading to increased starvation and a surge in killings, rapes, and kidnappings. O'Neill emphasized the need for action, criticizing the absence of government response and inhumane conditions in prisons. He also called for the restoration of operations at a court captured by gangs and the fight against sexual violence.
