Abstract
This research project explores the efficacy of multilateral humanitarian intervention as a means to creating stability in Haiti in the context of intensive gang violence. This thesis compares the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) with the ongoing Multinational Security Support Force in Haiti (MSS), drawing on criteria taken from the failures of the MINUSTAH mission, and other parameters drawn from scholarly literature on what constitutes a successful multilateral humanitarian mission. The results of these analyses found that the MSS mission has been largely unsuccessful in lowering violence and creating stability in Haiti, largely due to financial and logistical struggles which have compounded difficulties with troop deployment. To conclude, this work reflects on alternative approaches to combatting intensive gang violence in line with international relations schools of thought.
