SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — U.N. Secretary General António Guterres is insisting on the deployment of an international specialized armed force to Haiti and calling on governments to consider halting deportations as the country’s situation spirals. The recommendations were issued Monday as part of a report on the U.N. Integrated Office in Haiti as Guterres noted that gang-related violence and human rights violations have reached a critical level. Haiti also is struggling with a deadly cholera outbreak and a spike in starvation cases. The report was released a day before the U.N. Security Council is scheduled to meet and talk about Haiti.
