CAN Mission in Haiti (ops, medals, etc) - merged

[Ostrozac]

Canada's CIVPOL contingent to MINUSTAH has constituted the bulk of Canada's contribution to UN peacekeeping for many years. I'm interested to see if the RCMP are participants in the successor force.

This might just be the new mission for the Biebs to take us, we can "lead" and not even have to commit the military!

Recognizing the “major milestone” Haiti has achieved toward stabilization following recent elections, the Security Council today extended the mandate of the United Nations mission in the island nation for a final six-month period ......
....after over 13 years operating in its current form....

:rofl:

Yep, and Canada went into Cyprus on a 4-month mandate in 1964.  UNFICYP is now the #2 contributor to the Cypriot economy (after tourism) and still going strong.

Haiti can't make money off of tourism, so I'm not writing off that UN cash cow's presence just yet.
