The United Nations Assistance Mission for Justice in Haiti (MINUJUSTH) was a peace mission of the United Nations in Haiti and the successor of terminated in October 2017 mission called MINUSTAH . According to UN Security Council Resolution 2350, MINUJUSTH's task was to assist the Haitian government in strengthening the rule of law institutions in Haiti, to continue to support and develop the Haitian National Police, and to monitor, analyze and report on the human rights situation refund.

According to Chapter VII, it was authorized, if necessary, to protect civilians who are directly threatened by physical violence.

It was headed by a special envoy of the UN Secretary General and initially consisted of up to seven organized police units, a further 295 individual police officers, as well as law enforcement officers and civilian personnel. Military units are not involved in the operation. The total number of police officers deployed was 1,300, which was reduced to 600 by the end of the mission.

MINUJUSTH's mandate was initially valid until April 2018, but has since been extended to a lesser extent, initially until April 15, 2019, and again until October 15, 2019. In October 2019, the blue helmets withdrew. A small political mission is to be represented in the country in the future.
