Chicago – May 10, 2026
A United Nations report from February details four sexual abuse investigations, one involving a 12-year-old child, that implicate members of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) forces, a Kenyan-led and US-backed military mission to combat gang violence in Haiti.
“In 2025, the United Nations received four allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse involving personnel from the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti,” the report says.
“All the allegations were found to be substantiated by investigations conducted by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights,” it says.
It adds that three of the victims were children who were allegedly raped and that a fourth victim, who allegedly suffered sexual violence, was 18-years-old.
The UN report states that the cases were referred to the MSS and its successor organization, the Gang Suppression Force (GSF), for “appropriate investigation and remedial measures.”
