The Haitian Transitional Presidential Council's request for the ongoing Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission to transition into a United Nations Peacekeeping Mission has been endorsed by the Organisation of American States (OAS). The Organisation resolved to support the transition "in order to provide more sustainable assistance for Haiti's long-term stability, security, rule of law, and democratic governance." Additionally, members urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to expedite support for the request while continuing to promote robust coordination between the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) and the MSS mission. Kenya, the lead nation in the MSS mission, has also called for its transition to a UN mission to ensure its troops receive adequate compensation and the necessary resources for successful operations.
