Kenya high court rules against plan to deploy hundreds of police to Haiti

Kenya's National Security Council has been ruled to lack the authority to deploy regular police outside the country, stopping the government's plan to send officers to Haiti.
The deployment of police officers to Haiti was deemed illegal, as there is no reciprocal arrangement between Kenya and Haiti. Kenya's offer to lead a multinational security force was seen as noble but must be carried out in accordance with the constitution.
The UN Security Council backed Kenya's offer to lead a multinational security force in Haiti to combat gang violence, which came at a critical point for the country facing multiple crises.
