Helen La Lime expressed hope that the U.N. Security Council will deal positively with the issue of the force requested by the Haitian government to deal with a growing gang crisis.

Ambassadors for the two countries most often mentioned as possible leaders of an international armed force to help Haiti combat gangs said a solution must be led by Haitian people.

Last month, daily life in Haiti began to spin out of control in the nation due to multiple crises, including fuel blockades and a cholera outbreak.
