UN Extends BINUH Mandate in Haiti Until January 2026

The United Nations Security Council unanimously voted on Monday, July 14, to extend the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) until January 31, 2026, reaffirming its commitment to supporting peace, stability, and the rule of law in the crisis-ridden Caribbean nation.

Established in 2019, BINUH was designed to assist the Haitian government in strengthening democratic institutions, promoting human rights, reforming the justice system, and preparing for credible elections.

It replaced the previous UN peacekeeping and justice missions with a more focused, advisory structure.
