PM Ariel Henry wrote formally to the UN Secretary-General requesting 'the immediate deployment of a specialized armed force' to end the fuel blockade and restore security. The letter triggered months of UN Security Council deliberations. Canada and the US expressed skepticism about a new mission without a willing lead nation, while Henry's legitimacy to make such a request was challenged domestically.
