On November 4th, 2025, Albert R. Ramdin, Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), presented the third version of the Roadmap for Stability and Peace in Haiti to the Permanent Council. This updated plan, estimated at $2.6 billion, aims to restore stability, foster development, and ensure prosperity in Haiti. The roadmap, which enjoys broad international support, was first introduced in August 2025. Ramdin emphasized the urgency of the situation, calling on member states and partners to transition from intentions to concrete actions that alleviate the suffering of the Haitian people and establish a foundation for stability, democracy, and hope under Haitian leadership with effective international coordination. He highlighted the pressing need to address the freedom with which gangs operate, urging accelerated coordination and deployment processes. The OAS continues to maintain close dialogue with Haitian leadership and coordinates with the UN, CARICOM, and key partners to translate Haitian priorities into operational and verifiable actions. The third version of the roadmap incorporates substantive inputs from member states, aligns with UN Security Council Resolution 2793, and establishes the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) to replace the Multinational Security Mission (MSS). It also creates the United Nations Support Office for Haiti (UNSOH) and assigns logistical responsibilities to the OAS in coordination with the Force’s Base Operational Framework (FRB). The update ensures institutional continuity by addressing potential power vacuums and reflects priorities identified by Haitian authorities, including outcomes from Prime Minister Fils-Aimé’s recent visit to the OAS.
