What happened
At the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley called for the Caribbean region to remain a zone of peace and cautioned against the region becoming a theatre for confrontation or the unilateral and unjustified use of force. Mottley noted that the security crisis in Haiti, a Caricom country, continues to impede political renewal and economic recovery. She stated that efforts toward a return to constitutional government are underway but require security improvements in areas containing more than half of Haiti’s electorate.

Why it matters
The address detailed the ongoing challenges in Haiti, which are linked to criminal gangs seeking to overthrow the government following the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moise. Barbados announced its support for the full deployment and mandate renewal of the 5,500 Gang Suppression Force, a multinational security mission authorized by the UN Security Council.
Acute food insecurity, water crisis, and regional fragility are straining stability across Latin America, affecting countries like Colombia, Cuba, and Haiti.
