Police Nationale d'Haïti
The Police Nationale d'Haïti (PNH) is the national police force of Haiti, responsible for maintaining law and order in the country. Recently, the PNH has faced criticism for its inadequate response to armed attacks in Kenscoff, as highlighted by a report from the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. The report noted that despite being alerted about potential threats, the PNH failed to take necessary preventative measures, resulting in significant loss of life and raising concerns about its effectiveness and preparedness in handling escalating violence.
