The Organization of American States (OAS) on Friday passed a resolution to support Haiti on its path to long-delayed elections and help the Caribbean country manage widespread gang violence that is driving a humanitarian crisis.
The resolution proposed creating a working group of member states no later than Feb. 22 to address issues such as gun trafficking and ato help police restore order, which Haiti's caretaker government requested five months ago.
Talks on such a force have lagged as no country has offered to lead it, though some Caribbean states said they would participate and Canada sent a surveillanceU.S. Ambassador to the OAS Francisco Mora said Washington was still discussing possible involvement and signaled fresh sanctions and visa restrictions in the "coming months."
Many have been wary of sending troops citing past foreign missions that committed abuses in Haiti and are reluctant to back Prime Minister Ariel Henry, whose government has been without elected representatives since early January.
