Topic: Legal Frameworks for Combating Gang Violence and Organized Crime in Haiti

With no president since Jovenel Moïse’s assassination in 2021, Haiti faces an unstable justice system and the lack of effective governance. Armed gangs have taken control over roads in the nation's capital Port-au-Prince, the international airport, and critical seaporta, leaving some Haitians trapped and living in fear. The humanitarian crisis has reached unprecedented levels, with starvation, homelessness, and sexual violence surging as international aid struggles to reach affected populations. Given these dire circumstances, delegates will have to evaluate how the international community, particularly through the UN Legal Committee, can develop legal frameworks and enforce accountability measures to restore justice, dismantle armed gangs, and protect the lives of Haiti’s most vulnerable citizens.
