Current and Past Recommendations to the UN Security Council (Monthly Action Points)
Haiti (October 2012)
In its expected mandate renewal for the UN mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), the Council should ensure the mission has:
- Sufficient capacity to support the empowerment and protection of women and girls, and access to services for survivors of violence; given the continuing violence, including sexual violence, against women in high-risk communities;
- Concrete measures to improve security for women and girls by identifying best practices and feedback from the community;
- Increase training for justice officials on prosecuting gender-based crimes; and
- Strongly reiterated obligations regarding the UN zero-tolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse, and all abuses committed against the civilian population by all MINUSTAH personnel, and the need for acts by such personnel to be properly held to account by troop- and police-contributing countries and the UN Secretariat.
