Key points
- Haiti's government is seeking to renew the mandate of the international anti-gang task force (GSF)
- The GSF is authorized to pursue 'counter-gang operations to neutralize, isolate, and deter gangs'
- The GSF's mandate is set to expire on September 30, unless the UN Security Council acts to extend its mission
If the international community supports the renewal of the GSF, it could help reduce gang violence and make the upcoming election fairer.
If the international community does not support the renewal, gang violence could continue and the election might not be fair.
