UNITED NATIONS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 06th July, 2023) UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Thursday called on all Security Council members and other involved countries to create an environment for deployment of multinational forces to help the Haitian Police.
"I appeal to members of the Security Council and all relevant potential contributing countries to act now to create the conditions for the deployment of a multinational force to assist the Haitian National Police," Guterres told the press.
The government of Haiti requested this help back in October and so did many Haitian citizens, he added.
