HISTORICAL CONTEXT
BINUH was established October 15 2019 replacing the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in
Haiti MINUJUSTH which itself replaced the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti MINUSTAH
demonstrating continuous UN presence since 2004. Previous UN mission transitions in 2017
MINUSTAH to MINUJUSTH and 2019 MINUJUSTH to BINUH occurred under controlled conditions
with overlapping mandates ensuring coordination continuity unlike current scenario where BINUH
may expire seven days before CPT creating dual vacuum.
