The United Nations Security Council has given the green light for Kenya to lead an international mission to combat rampant gang violence in Haiti. But watchdogs say they are concerned about possible human rights violations, given accusations of abuses by Kenyan police.
Kenya is due to send 1,000 law enforcement officers to Haiti, where they will support the national police for at least a year, to take on the armed gangs that have effectively seized control of parts of the Caribbean country.
