The report by the panel of experts, created by Security Council Resolution 2653 (2022), indicated in a report to the Council that in 2024, approximately 7,342 people were murdered (6,281 men, 117 boys, 884 women, and 60 girls). More than 3,660 of these murders occurred between July and December 2024. In addition, approximately 2,017 Haitians were kidnapped (1,249 men, 44 boys, 687 women, and 37 girls). According to the report, “in 2024, at least 423 people were killed during collective attacks carried out by the gang known as Bwa Kale.”

“Many of these attacks were also carried out by self-defense groups,” the UN expert report highlighted, “reflecting a disastrous situation in which the population is taking justice into its own hands.” The report went on to detail “widespread human rights violations continuing to occur in Haiti,” including extrajudicial executions attributed to the Haitian National Police (PNH).
