In a letter, Voltaire asked UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to transform the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSSM) into a peacekeeping mission.

I come to you because of the urgency of the situation, as there are still enormous challenges to overcome so that the Haitian people can freely go about their business.

The transformation of the AMM into a UN Peacekeeping Mission would allow for greater resources, Voltaire was quoted as saying by Le Nouvelliste newspaper. That option would strengthen the mission financially and logistically, Voltaire commented.
