Members of the UN Security Council have been visiting Haiti, home to one of the organisation's most controversial peacekeeping missions.<br /><br />The UN mission, known as Minustah, consists of 11,000 peacekeepers who were sent to provide security and build government institutions in a country plagued by corruption, poverty and violence.<br /><br />But after eight years, the mission's popularity is at an all-time low due to a series of scandals, from allegations of sexual abuse to accusations of spreading cholera.<br /><br />The UN says it will take four more years to bolster Haiti's security forces, in order for it to become fully independent. <br /><br />Al Jazeera's Kristen Saloomey reports from Port au Prince, Haiti's capital.
