Summary
The United Nations (UN) Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) withdrew completely in October 2017 after thirteen years of deployment and was replaced by a smaller mission, the UN Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), mandated under Chapter VII of the UN Charter but comprised of police units and police officers with no military component. The draw down of MINUSTAH provides an opportunity to review the mission’s significance and legacy and to provide a candid examination of the conduct and responsibilities of the mission without risk of exacerbating the challenges faced by UN troops on the ground.
