Bahrain voted in favor of UN Security Council Resolution, which renews the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) for another year.

The resolution, co-penned by the US and Panama, extends BINUH’s mandate until Jan. 31, 2027 and was adopted unanimously by the Council.

Ambassador Jamal Fares Al-Ruwaie, Bahrain’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York, welcomed the Council’s unanimous adoption, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian and security challenges in Haiti.

He reaffirmed Bahrain’s commitment to international cooperation, stressing the importance of coordinated efforts with the UN and regional partners to enhance stability, security, and development in Haiti. Al-Ruwaie expressed Bahrain’s solidarity with the Haitian government and people and called for international support to help the country overcome current challenges and build a safer, more stable future.

The resolution proposes revising BINUH’s mandate to focus on six key tasks, including promoting accountability and human rights, supporting electoral and political processes, reducing gang violence, and assisting Haiti’s justice sector.
