Members of the CARICOM Caucus of Ambassadors to the United Nations (UN) met with UN Secretary-General António Guterres in early May to express their concerns about the deteriorating situation in Haiti and to explore ways to continue supporting the country in its efforts to stem armed violence and restore constitutional authority.

Faced with the Security Council's failure to take action on the Secretary-General's proposal to resolve the multidimensional crisis in Haiti https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-44373-haiti-flash-first-details-on-antonio-guterresproposal-to-the-security-council.html , Guterres affirmed his continued efforts to emphasize the urgency of the situation and his willingness to contact the highest decision-making authorities [in China] to explain the urgency of the issues.

Similar efforts were also made by the CARICOM Chair, who engaged in dialogue with the permanent members of the Security Council (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) on resolving the crisis in Haiti.

The CARICOM Caucus also discussed the UN80 Initiative, launched by the Secretary-General in March 2025. This initiative aims to overhaul the United Nations system to improve its effectiveness and streamline its functions. This review is expected to result in a major restructuring of the UN's operations.

CARICOM Member States expressed their strong commitment to the UN and multilateralism as it embarked on this necessary process of revitalization and reform, to ensure that the region's priorities are fully taken into account in the reform process.
