Subject: Situation In Haiti
The Peoples Democratic Republic of Algeria is profoundly troubled by the famine, displacement, and disproportionate federal manipulation through gang violence and other systematic factors that can be currently found in the nation of Haiti. As a nation who can empathize with the struggle of instability in relation to historical presidential assassinations and civil wars within our borders, we are determined to support efforts to regain governmental centralization and peace over the nation of Haiti. Being a recent part of the United Nations Security Council as an A3+ nation, (Ineffective as of January 1st, 2026) the republic of Algeria feels a strong obligation to represent and assist its Caribbean counterpart and has already used time within our UNSC seating to provide aid and support the various endeavors to assist their wide array of humanitarian needs.
Algeria acknowledges the immense difficulty of maintaining the goals of previous UN stabilization missions such as MINUSTAH (2004–2017) and BINUH. While these missions faced significant challenges, Algeria recognizes that they helped preserve a functioning government structure that continues to support stabilization efforts today. The UNSC’s most recent support mission proposed by Kenya, Resolution 2699, provides a strong foundation and has already shown impact, particularly in countering violent gang activity despite its continued escalation. Algeria also supports additional measures aimed at stability, including coordinated security efforts for free elections and oversight mechanisms to ensure long-term progress.
Due to the continued challenge of neutralizing armed groups, the Gang Suppression Force established in late 2025 represents a necessary step toward restoring order. Algeria advocates for similarly active measures that more directly weaken organizations disrupting peace and governance. Algeria would like to emphasize the importance of Haitian voices and increasing support for the Haitian National Police, especially in areas with limited government presence. Over time, Algeria believes support should transition primarily to financial assistance in order to preserve Haiti’s national sovereignty. Algeria has already demonstrated its commitment by donating $100,000 to Kenya’s mission, with the belief that financial contributions from diplomatic partners will be a few of the most effective ways to address these challenges.
The People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria hopes to see Haiti’s situation improve through stronger judicial institutions, reduced gang violence, restricted access to weapons, and the enforcement of arms embargoes. Algeria also emphasizes the importance of Haiti’s recovery being African-led in the Caribbean, particularly through continued support, funding, and reinforcement of Kenya’s efforts under Resolution 2699.
