Description

As the Security Council was updated today on the work of its subsidiary body devoted to the Haiti sanctions regime, speakers stressed that these measures must be strictly implemented if they are to be effective in addressing the country’s many crises.

“I believe that we are at a critical junction in the development and implementation of the 2653 sanctions regime,” said Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett (Guyana), Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 2653 (2022) concerning Haiti, as she delivered the Committee’s annual report.

Detailing the Committee’s work since her last report on 11 December 2024, she recalled resolution 2752 (2024), which renewed the sanctions regimes on Haiti and directed the Committee to update the list of designated individuals and entities. In that context, she reported that the Committee added two entities on 8 July and that the Council added two individuals on 17 October through resolution 2794 (2025). There are currently nine individuals and two entities on the Committee’s sanctions list.
