United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday welcomed reports that Haitian stakeholders have nominated representatives to the Transitional Presidential Council, a UN spokesperson said.

The UN Security Council also issued a statement on Haiti on Thursday, recognizing the key role of the Caribbean Community in facilitating Haiti's efforts to overcome the ongoing political stalemate and security situation.

The members of the Security Council expressed grave concern at the illicit flow of arms and ammunition into Haiti that remains a fundamental factor of instability and violence, and they reiterated the obligation of member states to implement an arms embargo, among other issues, according to the statement.
