Haiti

[Schneemann]

Die UN-Mission zur Stabilisierung des faktisch in die völlige Rechtlosigkeit bzw. in Richtung eines failed state abgeglittenen Haiti verzögert sich weiter. Einerseits gab es Kritik daran, dass ausgerechnet rund 1.000 kenianische Polizisten die Ordnung wieder herstellen sollten - und die Kenianer haben sich bei UN-Einsätzen innerhalb Afrikas nicht gerade mit Ruhm bekleckert (Schwarzmarkt, Korruption, Prostitution etc.) -, andererseits hat ein Gericht in Kenia die Sache vor ein paar Wochen ausgebremst. Mal abwarten, ob sich noch eine Lösung für dieses "karibische Somalia" findet...

Kenya Court Puts Haiti Deployment on Temporary Hold

NAIROBI, KENYA — A Kenyan court on Monday temporarily suspended a government plan to send police to Haiti on a U.N.-backed mission aiming to restore calm to the gang-infested Caribbean nation. The U.N. Security Council last week approved a Kenyan-led multinational security force for the troubled country, with Nairobi promising 1,000 police officers.

But a Nairobi court granted an interim injunction on Monday in a case brought by opposition politician Ekuru Aukot, who argued the deployment was unconstitutional as it was not backed by any law or treaty. [...]

Haiti, the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation, has been in turmoil for years, with armed gangs taking over parts of the country and unleashing brutal violence, and the economy and public health system also in tatters. Details of Kenya's deployment are still not finalized, with parliament yet to approve the move as required by law. [...]

The mission will also aim to create conditions to hold elections, which have not taken place in Haiti since 2016. Kenya's involvement has been criticized at home, with many questioning the wisdom of such a risky mission. Rights watchdogs also say Kenyan police have a history of using sometimes lethal force against civilians, and that they pose an unacceptable risk in Haiti where foreign troops have committed abuses in past interventions.
