Security Council Resolution 2350 (2017)
Summary: Closes MINUSTAH and establishes MINUJUSTH in its place, a smaller successor built around the police and the justice sector, authorised to use all necessary means.
Key Findings
- Extends MINUSTAH's mandate for a final six months and establishes the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH) to follow it.
- Asks the Secretary-General to begin immediately reducing MINUSTAH's tasks in a phased manner, defining which functions are critical.
- Authorises MINUJUSTH to use all necessary means to carry out its mandate to support and develop the Haitian National Police.
- Notes that the 295 individual police officers reduced from MINUSTAH's authorised 1,001 would be key to the police strategic plan's priorities.
- States the Council's intent to keep reviewing conditions in Haiti and to consider adapting MINUJUSTH's mandate and police force levels.
