Interview of Canada's Ambassador to the UN with In Texto. David Lametti answers Jean Numa Goudou's questions.
Returning from a mission in Haiti, Canada's ambassador to the United Nations, David Lametti, displays "certain optimism" that this time "it could work" in an allusion to the Gang Repression Force (GRF) that has begun its deployment in Haiti.
In an interview with In Texto, Ambassador Lametti speaks of greater support from the international community than the previous mission to support the Haitian National Police (HNP). As proof, he says, the GRF is currently receiving promises of 11,000 troops, double what the UN authorizes. But it is three countries, Chad, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh that will provide the military personnel and police that the force needs.
