The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) held an emergency meeting on 28 August to discuss the situation in Haiti, days after a massacre claimed at least 47 lives. The violence has sparked concerns about rising brutality by gangs, who control 90% of Port-au-Prince and large parts of the country. This persists despite the presence of the UNSC-authorised Gang Suppression Force (GSF), whose first deployment arrived in April. It is also raising major question marks about Haiti’s capacity to hold long-overdue elections now scheduled for December, in what would be the first vote in over a decade.
