The '''Core Group''' was established by U.N. Security Council resolution S/RES/1542 (2004).  It is chaired by the U.N. Special Representative to Haiti, and also includes representatives from Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, the [European Union](/source/European_Union), the United States, and the [Organization of American States](/source/Organization_of_American_States).<ref name="2019-02_press-release">{{cite news |title=Core Group Statement |url=https://ht.usembassy.gov/press-release-port-au-prince-10-february-2019-the-core-group/ |access-date=26 December 2022 |work=US Embassy in Haiti |agency=Press Release |date=10 February 2019}}</ref><ref name="CrisisGroup202212">{{cite web |date=14 December 2022 |title=Haiti's Last Resort: Gangs and the Prospect of Foreign Intervention |url=https://www.crisisgroup.org/latin-america-caribbean/haiti/b048-haitis-last-resort-gangs-and-prospect-foreign-intervention |access-date=26 December 2022 |publisher=International Crisis Group}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=30 April 2004 |title=Resolution 1542 (2004) |url=https://digitallibrary.un.org/nanna/record/520532/files/S_RES_1542%282004%29-EN.pdf |access-date=7 March 2024 |website=United Nations Digital Library}}</ref>

The group presents itself as providing advice on how to resolve Haiti's [socioeconomic and political crises](/source/2022_Haitian_crisis) and improve democracy in the country.<ref name="2019-02_press-release" /> Its critics, including former special envoy to Haiti [Daniel Foote](/source/Daniel_Foote) have accused it of undemocratic meddling in Haiti's internal affairs, including supporting former president [Jovenel Moïse](/source/Jovenel_Mo%C3%AFse) as his administration descended into despotism. They also backed  Prime Minister-designate [Ariel Henry](/source/Ariel_Henry) to become Prime Minister over interim Prime Minister [Claude Joseph](/source/Claude_Joseph) and  Senate Leader Joseph Lambert.<ref>{{Cite news |date=19 July 2021 |title=Haiti's acting prime minister Claude Joseph says he will step down amid leadership dispute |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/07/19/haiti-claude-joseph-ariel-henry/ |access-date=7 March 2024 |newspaper=Washington Post}}</ref>

Foote has also accused the group of prioritizing the stability of the country over the Haitian popular will.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Dyer |first1=Evan |title=Haitian commission sends message to Canada, U.S. — stop meddling in our government |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/haiti-canada-u-s-diplomats-core-group-1.6277103 |access-date=26 December 2022 |work=CBC News |publisher=CBC/Radio Canada |date=8 December 2021}}</ref><ref name="CrisisGroup202212" />
