💨 Abstract

The Organization of American States (OAS) is under pressure to address the severe gang violence in Haiti, which has left over 5,600 people dead in 2024 and forced more than a million people homeless in recent years. The U.S. and Haiti have been advocating for a new peacekeeping mission with greater U.S. involvement and additional regional partners, rather than relying on the struggling Kenyan-led mission, which is underfunded and understaffed.
