Haiti.
United Nations: The United Nations Security Council (UNAC) on Friday unanimously voted on a resolution to ban all types of weapons and ammunition in the Caribbean country of Haiti. After this, the complete ban on the supply of arms and ammunition to Haiti was extended. The United Nations also expressed concern over increasing gang violence and criminal activity in the poor Caribbean country.
Let us tell you that in view of the situation in Haiti, the resolution on which 193 member countries of the United Nations voted unanimously, requires it to “take appropriate steps to prevent the illegal trafficking of weapons and related materials in Haiti and their use elsewhere.” Gives rights. UN experts said sophisticated weapons are increasingly being smuggled into Haiti from the US, particularly Florida, and delivered directly to gang members and criminals. In this proposal, the ban on travel of persons included in the UN banned list and the period for confiscation of their property has been extended for one year.
Situation is bad in Haiti
The council committee that oversees sanctions on Haiti added two more people to the list in late September, including five gang leaders. These leaders include Alain Luxon, leader of the ‘Gran Griff’ gang, which in early October killed at least 115 people in the town of Pont-Sonde in the Artibonite region near the Haitian capital. It was one of the largest massacres in Haiti in recent times. Whereas, the second person is Victor Profen. He was a former member of Haiti’s parliament and is accused of involvement in arms trafficking. From this it can be understood how much the situation in Haiti has deteriorated. (AP)
