Edgard Leblanc Fils, head of Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council, appealed for “global solidarity” at the UN General Assembly, endorsing a Biden administration push for a formal UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti. He highlighted Haiti’s historical injustices and current crises, including gang violence and child abuse, calling them “crimes against humanity.” Despite past controversies with UN missions, including sexual abuse allegations and a cholera outbreak, Leblanc emphasized the need for stable funding and expanded capabilities for the current Kenya-led security mission to ensure Haiti’s security.
