Quarterly Report on the Human Rights Situation in Haiti

This quarterly report from the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) provides a comprehensive overview of the human rights situation in Haiti from October to December 2025. It documents widespread violence, including 1,523 killings and 806 injuries during this period, primarily attributed to gang activities, security force operations, and self-defense groups. The report details the impact of gang violence on economic, social, and cultural rights, including forced displacement, extortion, and destruction of property, alongside a significant number of kidnappings (156) and sexual violence cases (301).

Furthermore, the report examines the challenges within the judicial system, noting persistent resource constraints and limited progress in investigations into serious human rights violations and massacres. It highlights some positive developments, such as the certification of magistrates and the inauguration of new courts, but also ongoing issues like prolonged pretrial detention and inhumane prison conditions. The document concludes by outlining support provided to national institutions and civil society, including training for police and the Gang Suppression Force, and efforts to combat child exploitation and sexual violence.
