What Role for the U.N. in Haiti?

On October 13, the mandate for United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) was renewed. One in a series of U.N. missions since 1993, MINUSTAH has unprecedented star power with the appointment of President Bill Clinton as U.N. special envoy. As the U.N. considers reauthorizating MINUSTAH, a panel of experts discussed the U.N.'s future in Haiti and the continuing need for peacekeeping forces.
