On April 13, 2017, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 2350 [3], ending peacekeeping operations in Haiti that had been ongoing for thirteen years. The Security Council recognized the “major milestone towards stabilization achieved with the peaceful completion of the electoral process and return to constitutional order on 7 February 2017, and commend[ed] Haitian authorities, in particular the Haitian Provisional Electoral Council and the Haitian National Police (HNP), for their efforts towards ensuring elections were conducted in a credible and inclusive manner and held in a largely peaceful environment.” Acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, the Security Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) for a final six months with an end date of October 15, 2017, during which time the military component of MINUSTAH will gradually drawdown. According to the press release [4], the Council also “recognized the ownership and primary responsibility of the Government and people of Haiti over all aspects of their country’s development, and encouraged the Mission to provide logistical and technical expertise, within available means and consistent with its mandate.”
