On Thursday, June 27, 2024, during the 54th regular session of the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) held in Asunción (Paraguay, June 26-28), Dominique Dupuy, Haiti’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, asked for solidarity and support for Haiti to overcome the crisis and hoped that this would be the “last time” that the country would need a Multinational Security Support Mission (MMSS).”
