AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted a resolution condemning the transformation of criminal groups in Haiti into organised trafficking and exploitation networks, including child recruitment, sexual violence, kidnapping and extortion.

It calls for dismantling these networks, treating child victims as victims, and scaling up EU support for anti-trafficking efforts, judicial cooperation, and border monitoring.

The resolution also demands full implementation of the UN arms embargo, stronger international cooperation, and increased humanitarian assistance.
