BRUSSELS: The European Union welcomes the resolution on Haiti adopted by the United Nations Security Council, which provides a framework for measures against gang leaders in Haiti and their financiers, who are directly or indirectly responsible for the current security and humanitarian crisis in the country.
The sanctions regime established by the UN will be swiftly transposed into EU law.
The EU is extremely concerned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Haiti, which has now reached unsustainable levels, with lack of fuel, medicines, food and water.
As a consequence, public institutions, schools and hospitals become dysfunctional, and cases of cholera are increasing in Port-au-Prince and other provinces.
The EU is a longstanding partner of Haiti and it remains engaged in supporting Haiti’s stabilisation, including by contributing to the strengthening the National Police of Haiti.
