Haiti faces a severe collapse of security, governance, and economic stability as gangs expand territorial control, state institutions weaken, and humanitarian needs escalate. The paper analyzes the limited effectiveness of past international interventions and describes how new UN Security Council Resolutions 2793 and 2794 aim to empower a larger Gang Suppression Force and strengthen sanctions to curb armed groups and illicit financial flows. It details how corruption, money laundering, and diversified criminal financing - combined with an under-resourced police and judiciary - undermine efforts to restore order. The authors argue that only a coordinated, Haitian-led strategy integrating security operations, institutional reform, and international support can create the conditions for long-term democratic governance and prosperity.
