And, you know, we saw an important vote taking place earlier, around about September, Ian, where a voting took place that ended the Security Council, sort of nearly seven months of diplomatic limbo on Haiti.
That tells you, in terms of sort of a new force to battle Haiti's gangs, that tells you just how difficult it is
It has been to get international actors to coalesce around what type of support, what type of political support, what type of international military or security support could help
Could the international actors bring together, agree on, to halt the spiralling wave of violence led largely by gangs in the country?
Now, look, you know, this idea of the international police was initially approved by the Security Council two years ago.
And that mission has received, to talk to your issue about financing, Ian, that mission has received only a fraction of the voluntary funding and the personnel that was needed.
The big question now today is that how can you conceive of a bigger force when it was hard to get the minimum funding that you needed and the political guarantee that was necessary to help begin to ensure that those forces could begin to provide the necessary leverage
and stand up against the gangs as well.
And I have question marks also about this idea of a gang suppression force, whether it can get the adequate support that it needs to be able to push back and sustain a presence on the ground.
I think there are lots of question marks and we will come back and debate this next year because we may find that this force
just like the international stabilization force that has been stood up for Gaza and all other similar ideas like this, you'll find out that if they don't have the political backing, financial weight, and the necessary political will to drive through and to address the violence, we are going to come back and have this debate all over again.
Thank you.
