U.N. mission to stay in Haiti for another year

UNITED NATIONS -- The U.N. Security Council on Tuesday renewed for one year the mandate of the U.N. mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and urged it to continue helping the Caribbean country’s police ensure security.

The 15-member council unanimously adopted Resolution 1840 extending MINUSTAH’s mandate, which expires Wednesday, until October 15, 2009. The text also welcomed the force’s reconfiguration decided in October 2007 to beef up its police component, saying MINUSTAH “will continue to consist of a military component of up to 7,060 troops of all ranks and a police component of a total of 2,091.”
