The UN chief calls for the rapid deployment of remaining personnel from the Gangs Enforcement Force (GEF)

The Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), António Guterres, urges member states to work tirelessly to ensure the rapid deployment of the remaining personnel from the Gangs Enforcement Force (GEF), so that it can fully carry out its important mandate. His statement was reported during a briefing given on September 29 by Stéphane Dujarric, his spokesperson, following the adoption of Resolution 2829 (2026), which renewed the mandate of the GEF and, by extension, that of the United Nations Support Office in Haiti (UNSOH). "Security support is imperative to create a space for progress, particularly towards the restoration of democratic institutions through the holding of peaceful and inclusive elections. It must be accompanied by sustained efforts to address the broader challenges facing Haiti," Guterres stated.<\/p>
