United Nations Reports and Resolutions
On 23 February 2004, the United Nations Security Council was convened at the request of CARICOM for the first time in four years to address the deteriorating situation in Haiti.
On 29 February 2004, the Security Council passed a resolution "taking note of the resignation of Jean-Bertrand Aristide as President of Haiti and the swearing-in of President Boniface Alexandre as the acting President of Haiti in accordance with the Constitution of Haiti" and authorized the immediate deployment of a Multinational Interim Force.
On 30 April 2004, MINUSTAH was established and given its mandate with a military component of up to 6,700 troops.
In July the General Assembly authorized the financing of the mission with $200 million which followed a donors' conference in Washington DC.
The first progress report from MINUSTAH was released at the end of August.
In September the interim president of Haiti, Boniface Alexandre, spoke to the United Nations General Assembly in support of MINUSTAH.
In November there was a second report, and the Security Council mandate for MINUSTAH.
The mandate has most recently been extended by the Security Council until October 2010 "with the intention of further renewal".
