UN Security Council unanimously votes to end peacekeeping mission in Haiti

‘The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has unanimously adopted a resolution to end its peacekeeping mission in Haiti after more than 20 years.
During a vote on Thursday, the UNSC members extended the mandate of the peacekeeping mission in Haiti for a final six months to end it in mid-October.
The resolution said during the six-month period, the 2,370 military personnel would gradually leave the country. After that, a 1,275-strong police force will continue to serve for an initial period of six months to train Haiti’s national police force, the UNSC said.
The new mission would also engage in “human rights monitoring, reporting and analysis,” while it would assist the government in strengthening judicial and legal institutions.’
