PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) – Haiti’s Prime Minister Claude Joseph urged the United Nations on Wednesday to hold a Security Council meeting on the Caribbean nation’s situation as soon as possible following the assassination of President Jovenel Moise by gunmen at his home.

In a statement, Joseph called on the “international community to launch an investigation into the assassination and for the United Nations to hold a Security Council meeting”.
