PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, CMC – The Human Rights Service (HRS) of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH), says more than 1 2000 people have been killed in Haiti during the three months, July to September this year.
According to the “Quarterly Report on the Human Rights Situation in Haiti, July-September 2025”, at least 1,247 people were killed and 710 were injured as a result of violence perpetrated by gangs, self-defense groups, and unorganized members of the population.
The report said that people were also killed during security force operations and that men accounted for 83 per cent of the victims, women 14 per cent, and children three per cent.
The report noted that while the criminal gangs were not able to gain further ground within the capital and were even pushed back from specific neighbourhoods such as Delmas 19 and Route de l’Aéroport (Delmas), as well as downtown Port-au-Prince, the “expansion of gang violence toward the peripheral and rural areas of the capital and toward the Artibonite and Centre departments continued”.
It said that sexual violence and child trafficking, including recruitment and exploitation, continue to be used by gangs to subjugate residents living in areas under their control.
The report noted that 39 members of the population were killed or injured by explosive drone strikes; there were also 79 summary or arbitrary extrajudicial executions believed to have been committed by police officers and by the Government Commissioner of Miragoâne.
The HRS report noted that eight security force personnel were killed and 17 others injured during security operations and that at least 1,400,000 people were displaced in Haiti as of September 30.
It said that 10 public prosecutors were recruited for the specialized judicial units to combat mass crimes, including sexual violence, as well as financial crimes.
But the report is recommending to the authorities in Haiti to ensure the operationalisation of specialised judicial units to combat mass crimes, including sexual violence, as well as financial crimes.
It said that with the support of the international community, the government should accelerate the effective implementation of the police vetting process and conduct judicial investigations of officers accused of involvement in serious human rights violations.
It also said that the government, with the support of the international community, “strengthen and accelerate the establishment of a prevention, disengagement and rehabilitation programme for minors involved in gangs, and reestablish a national entity leading and coordinating disarmament, dismantlement, reintegration and community violence reduction efforts.
“Strengthen the coherence and effectiveness of the national security forces in their fight against armed gangs,” the report urges, noting also that with the support of the international community, including humanitarian actors, the government should strengthen the protection of populations at risk.
The HRS is urging the international community to keep Haiti on the global agenda and to provide adequate financial and human support to ensure the full deployment of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) as authorised by the Security Council on September 30 this year.
The report also urges the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) region to strengthen and increase cargo inspections of cargo destined for Haiti within its territory, including at seaports and airports, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolutions that impose an arms embargo.
