帮派镇压部队的人员配备仅为预定目标的百分之三十联合国安理会于周二将海地国际安全部队的任期延长了六个月，该部队旨在打击控制了该国大部分地区的强大武装集团。
Gang Suppression Force staffing stands at just 30 per cent of what was intended The United Nations Security Council on Tuesday extended by six months the mandate of an international security force in Haiti intended to fight powerful armed groups that have taken control of much of the country.
十二国投票赞成续签帮派镇压部队（GSF）的任期，无一票反对。然而，有三个国家投了弃权票：中国、俄罗斯和巴基斯坦，其代表对资金、人员和成效的不足表示担忧。
Twelve nations voted to renew the mandate of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) and none voted against. Three nations, however, abstained: China, Russia and Pakistan, whose representatives cited concerns over insufficient funds, personnel and efficacy.
此次延期旨在为海地在十二月举行十年来的首次选举提供安全保障。尽管国际社会接连部署力量，但武装集团仍控制着这个加勒比国家的很大一部分，且该部队一直难以部署足够的部队来执行其任务。
The extension is intended to provide security ahead of Haiti's first election in a decade in December. Armed groups continue to control large parts of the Caribbean nation despite successive international deployments, and the force has struggled to deploy enough troops to carry out its mandate.
海地的领导人在2022年首次呼吁国际安全支持，他们曾敦其各国续签该部队的授权。目前该部队的规模还不到其预定规模的百分之三十。
Haiti, whose leaders first called for international security support in 2022, had urged nations to renew the mandate for the force, which is currently at less than 30 per cent of its intended size.
美国驻联合国大使迈克·沃尔茨（Mike Waltz）代表提出该动议的国家之一表示，目前约有1,500名帮派镇压部队士兵部署在海地。沃尔茨表示，其余4,000人预计将在未来几个月内抵达。
U.S. ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz, representing one of the countries that proposed the motion, said that around 1,500 GSF troops are now deployed in Haiti. Waltz said the remaining 4,000 are expected to arrive in the coming months.
沃尔茨说：“过去几十年里，有七个团组派驻了海地，显然取得的成功有限。”“我们正在努力做一些真正不同的事情。”最近的一次暴力事件导致11人死亡这次投票是在海地粮仓地区的帮派成员焚烧房屋并造成至少11人死亡几小时后进行的。当地市长称，这是一次报复行动，此前一个帮派镇压部队在打击非法收费站的行动中打死了三名帮派成员。
"Seven missions have been dedicated to Haiti over the previous decades and obviously to limited success," Waltz said. "We're trying to do something genuinely different." 11 dead in most recent violence The vote came hours after gang members in Haiti's breadbasket region burned homes and killed at least 11 people in what a local mayor said was retaliation after a GSF unit killed three gang members in a push against illegal toll booths.
一个月前，首都附近山腰小镇肯斯科夫（Kenscoff）发生另一起大屠杀，造成至少47人死亡，约50人遭绑架。
A month ago, another massacre in the hillside town of Kenscoff near the capital left at least 47 people dead and around 50 more kidnapped.
该维和部队（GSF）是在一年前成立的；此前由肯尼亚领导的维和行动同样因缺乏足够的自愿捐款而难以实现其目标，最终不得不提前撤军。该部队的任务期限已被延长至 2027 年 3 月 31 日。海地原定于 12 月 13 日举行选举，最终选举结果预计将在 3 月 7 日公布。由于安全局势持续恶化，历届过渡政府一直推迟选举的举行；目前已有近 150 万人被迫逃离家园。
The GSF was launched a year ago after the prior Kenyan-led mission similarly struggled to reach its goals with voluntary contributions. Its troops withdrew early this year. The mandate was renewed until March 31, 2027. Haiti is scheduled to hold elections on Dec. 13, and final results are due on March 7. Successive transitional governments have long delayed elections due to worsening insecurity, which has now forced close to 1.5 million people to flee their homes.
