UNMIH - Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Mission in Haiti (S/1994/828)

The report responds to paragraph 3 of Security Council resolution 933 (1994), which asked the Secretary-General for recommendations on reconfiguring and strengthening UNMIH. It recalls that UNMIH, authorized by resolution 867 (1993) to help implement the Governors Island Agreement, could not carry out its mandate because the Armed Forces of Haiti did not comply with the Agreement. It proposes that an expanded force control points of entry, help secure officials and installations, assure public order including disarming paramilitary groups, professionalize the armed forces, create a separate police force and help hold legislative elections. The force would have just over 15,000 military personnel and about 550 civilian police, and would need a Chapter VII mandate. Three options are examined: expanding UNMIH, authorizing a multinational or inter-American force, or splitting the work between such a force and UNMIH. The Secretary-General does not recommend the first option because the personnel could not be assembled in the required time.
