UN Security Council renews Haiti FRG mandate until March 2027; China, Pakistan, Russia abstain

The UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2829 (2026) with 12 votes in favor and 3 abstentions (China, Pakistan, Russia), extending the mandate of the FRG (Multinational Security Support Mission) in Haiti until March 31, 2027. The abstentions signal continued but non-blocking dissent from key permanent and non-permanent members, likely over sovereignty or funding concerns. The renewal ensures continued international security support for Haiti amid ongoing gang violence and political instability.
