During the 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council, an interactive dialogue on the situation in Haiti took place. Eleanor Sanders, the UK's Ambassador for Human Rights, spoke on behalf of the United Kingdom. In her statement, she expressed London's concern about the continuing deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the country, the rise in violence perpetrated by armed gangs and its impact on civilians, including women and children.
The UK representative emphasized the importance of international community support for efforts to stabilize the situation in Haiti, including assistance to the country's law enforcement structures and the protection of human rights for the local population. The statement also highlighted the need to hold those responsible for human rights violations accountable and the importance of ensuring humanitarian access to provide assistance to those affected.
Britain confirmed its support for the work of the UN Joint Office on Human Rights in Haiti and expressed readiness to continue cooperation with international partners to promote the restoration of law and order and security in the country. The statement came against the backdrop of an ongoing crisis linked to the activities of armed groups controlling significant portions of the country's territory, which has led to mass displacement of the population and restrictions on access to basic services.
The UN Human Rights Council session continues to consider the situation in Haiti as one of the priority issues requiring coordinated action by the international community.
