United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia and the Americas for the Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and the Department of Peace Operations Miroslav Jenča visited Haiti from 11 to 14 October 2023. He met with Prime Minister Ariel Henry, Foreign Minister Jean Victor Généus, members of the High Transitional Council, and representatives of a wide range of political parties and civil society actors. He also met with the Director-General a.i. of the Haitian National Police to discuss Security Council resolution 2699 of 2 October, which authorized a non-UN Multinational Security Support mission to assist Haiti´s efforts against gang violence. 
 
Assistant Secretary-General Jenča called for progress in the political process hand in hand with the deployment of the non-UN Multinational Security Support mission. He reiterated the United Nation's support to the CARICOM efforts to facilitate the intra-Haitian dialogue. 
 
Assistant Secretary-General Jenča stressed the need for the Haitian National Police to remain in the lead in the fight against armed gangs and for close coordination with the non-UN Multinational Security Support mission. He underscored the importance of respecting human rights in law enforcement and noted that improving security must go together with the promotion and protection of all human rights, whether civil and political—or economic, social and cultural. Moreover, he underlined the collective responsibility of all actors to particularly protect the rights of vulnerable groups, including women and youth. He noted also that the UN is stepping up its support to the Haitian National Police through its special political mission, BINUH, and stressed the need for an enhanced and effective coordination mechanism among all donors supporting the police. On the situation on the border, Assistant Secretary-General Jenča called for continuing dialogue between Haiti and the Dominican Republic to reach bilateral negotiated solutions.
