Dominican Republic offers logistical and intelligence support to Salvadoran troops in Haiti.

Dominican President Luis Abinader said his government is providing logistical and intelligence support to Salvadoran troops recently deployed in Haiti, Asharq News reported. A spokesperson for Abinader declined to specify the nature of the assistance. The Salvadoran troops are operating largely outside the framework of the UN-backed anti-gang force, according to the report. The force’s spokesperson said it coordinates closely with Haitian authorities and international partners, and that the force’s activities are governed by its mandate, approved command arrangements, rules of engagement and applicable human-rights obligations. Amnesty International called on Salvadoran and Haitian leaders to ensure the operations comply with international human-rights law. It also sought publication of the deployment agreement and clarity on oversight, rules governing the use of force and accountability.
