The UN Security Council will Vote on a resolution to deploy an international force to help Haiti combat gang violence and restore security for upcoming elections. The resolution, drafted by the US, welcomes Kenya's offer to lead the force and clarifies that it would be funded by voluntary contributions. The force would provide operational support to Haiti's under-resourced National Police and work to counter gangs and improve security conditions. It would also secure critical infrastructure sites and adopt urgent temporary measures to prevent loss of life and maintain public safety. The force would be authorized for one year with a review after nine months.
