The Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission in Haiti is an international police and military force approved by the United Nations Security Council on 2 October 2023 to assist the government of Haiti in restoring law and order amid worsening civil strife and gang violence since 2018.[2]
The mission is led by Kenya and coordinated with the Haitian National Police; though backed by the UNSC, it is not a United Nations operation.[3] Personnel have been pledged by Caribbean Community members Jamaica, Bahamas, Guyana, Barbados, and Antigua and Barbuda, as well as Bangladesh, Benin, and Chad.[4] Then-Kenyan Foreign Minister Alfred Mutua stated that Spain, Senegal, and Chile would likely deploy security personnel.[5][6] The first contingent of the security force arrived in Haiti on 25 June 2024.[7]
As of 3 January 2025, over 500 personnel from Kenya, Jamaica, Belize, the Bahamas, Guatemala, and El Salvador have been deployed to the theater.[8]
