In April 2017, the Security Council unanimously agreed that the then 2,370 soldiers serving in United Nations Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) had to be gradually withdrawn until 15 October 2017 to make way for the new MINUJUSTH as the successor operation.

[1][2][3] MINUJUSTH had up to 1,275 members of the police force as well as correction officers and international civilians, but no military personnel.

[5][6] The mission was mandated until 15 April 2018 then extended by one year with the passing of UN Security Council Resolution 2410.

[4][7] On 25 June 2019, a new resolution was adopted by the Security Council that set MINUJUSTH's mandate to come to an end on 15 October 2019.

The mission's end marked the conclusion of 15 years of UN peacekeeping operations in Haiti.
