UN chief calls for a robust global force to help crisis-hit Haiti

Antonio Guterres presses for an international ‘rapid action force’ to help Haitian police tackle spiralling gang violence.

Antonio Guterres, the secretary general of the United Nations, has called for a “robust international force” to help Haiti’s beleaguered police fight criminal gangs on a visit to the Caribbean nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince.

The visit on Saturday was Guterres’s first to Haiti as head of the UN and was meant to spotlight the crises facing the country as it struggles to combat violent gangs that have largely overrun Port-au-Prince.
