Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The security situation is characterized by armed gangs controlling large parts of Port-au-Prince and key transport corridors. While the international community supports the GSF, the force is severely under-deployed, operating with only 1,083 personnel instead of the 5,500 authorized by the UN.

Carlos Ruiz Massieu, who serves as UN Special Representative in Haiti, highlighted issues regarding the deployment of the GSF during the discussions.
