The United Nations Security Council is considering creating a sanctions regimen to impose an asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo on anyone who threatens the peace, security or stability of Haiti, according to a draft resolution reported by several news agencies.The first person to be sanctioned would be Jimmy Cherizier, who goes by the nickname “Barbecue” and is described in the United States and Mexico-drafted resolution as one of Haiti’s most influential gang leaders.“One of the challenges in effectively dealing with insecurity is the nexus between the gangs and some of the elites in Haiti and outside of Haiti who are supporting them and directing them for their own purposes,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in Washington on Thursday.“So we’ve been working together at the United Nations … to impose sanctions on those who are actually taking actions that support violence and support gangs,” he said at a joint news conference with visiting Mexican officials.A UN mission in Haiti works with the government to strengthen political stability and good governance, rights protection and justice reform and to help with organising free and fair elections."
