The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), with the support of the Government of Japan, has launched a new initiative to strengthen Haiti’s response to escalating violence, illicit trafficking, and organized crime.
Building on Security Council Resolutions 2692 (2023) and 2743 (2024), UNODC and Japan will support Haitian authorities through three key actions :
Border Security :
Establishing and equipping new Control Units at the border to enhance interdiction capacities against weapons, drugs, and other illicit goods.
Information and Analysis : Continuing quarterly updates to the Security Council on illicit trafficking and financial flows, providing critical insights to Haitian and international partners.
Maritime Security : Strengthening the Haitian Coast Guard by providing advanced training and specialized equipment for decision-making in high-risk situations.
This initiative complements ongoing efforts of the Haitian National Police, the General Administration of Customs, and international partners.
