  1. “It is up to the international community to meet this challenge by establishing collective solidarity mechanisms, which are essential to achieving sustainable peace. In that regard, the Africa-Caribbean Community (CARICOM) summit held on 7 September 2021, chaired by Kenya, represents a unique initiative to strengthen global solidarity and cooperation. I particularly welcome the leadership shown by the President of the Republic of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, in bridging divisions and bringing together the peoples of Africa and the Caribbean. In that spirit, I thank the countries of Africa and of CARICOM, as well as all countries that stand in solidarity with the people and Government of Haiti in its quest for peace, security, political stability and sustainable socioeconomic development.”

  2. “In order to break the vicious cycle of poverty, more substantial assistance must be provided to developing countries in conflict situations or in post-conflict reconstruction and peacebuilding phases, failing which “sustainable peace” may remain an empty phrase. Lastly, the objective of sustainable peace is inseparable from that of sustainable development. The Republic of Haiti reiterates its commitment to a vision of sustainable peace which, in the face of current challenges, requires global responses that make it possible to address the root causes of conflict and that focus on peace, sustainable development and human rights in an integrated manner, as stated by the Secretary-General.”

  3. “Haiti continues to count on the support of the Security Council and the entire United Nations system in its efforts to advance the reconstruction process and make sustained progress towards democracy and the rule of law, which is the only way that it can achieve social and economic modernization, poverty reduction and sustainable development. I would like to stress that the debate on sustaining peace cannot exclude the issue of extreme poverty, which plays a major role in many intra-State conflicts. Internecine civil wars have their origins in economic misery, social injustice, political oppression, marginalization and exclusion.”

  4. “Currently, the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH), which plays an advisory role, is continuing the Organization’s work by helping the Government to determine how best to promote and strengthen political stability, good governance and the rule of law, to combat insecurity and reduce community and armed gang violence, to protect and promote human rights and to conduct inclusive dialogue. At a time when the country is facing a multidimensional crisis exacerbated by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the Government of Haiti wishes to reiterate the importance that it attaches to strengthening international solidarity.”

  5. “Rather, they require the implementation of a broad range of interrelated activities designed to support the political process and, ultimately, to lead to the establishment or restoration of the rule of law and to advance progress towards peace, security, stability, democracy and the revival of development. Such is the case, for example, in Haiti, where the United Nations has been present since the deployment, in 2004, of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), which was succeeded, in 2017, by the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH).”

  6. “It is clear that new and promising avenues for peacekeeping and peacemaking must be explored. In its concept note, Kenya, which we wish to congratulate on its presidency of the Security Council during the month of October, sets out several such avenues, which are of great interest. Sustaining peace cannot consist solely in preventing the outbreak, intensification, continuation or recurrence of conflicts, as the concept note rightly reminds us. Peacekeeping would necessarily be incomplete if it did not also include activities aimed at addressing the root causes of conflict. A close look at active peacekeeping operations shows that most of them no longer merely involve the deployment of an interposition force or the monitoring of ceasefires between belligerent forces.”

  7. “However, it must be acknowledged that much remains to be done to ensure that these operations are truly adapted to the complexity of new challenges, to new threats to international peace and security, to the various contexts in which they are deployed, and to the difficult and often hostile environments in which they operate. Updating the working methods of such operations is all the more necessary given the increasingly internal nature of conflicts, as indicated in the concept note provided by Kenya. Hence, the importance of the topic selected by Kenya for today’s debate, with its focus on diversity, State-building and the search for peace as prerequisites for the establishment of lasting peace in a country in conflict. There are increasingly calls everywhere for a new doctrinal approach to peacekeeping.”

  8. “At the outset, on behalf of the Government of Haiti, I would like to congratulate the Government of Kenya for taking the initiative, in its capacity as President of the Security Council, to organize the present high-level thematic debate on peacebuilding and sustaining peace, on the topic “Diversity, State-building and the search for peace”. This is a subject of indisputable importance that lies at the heart of the Security Council’s efforts to maintain international peace and security. In a constantly changing world faced with diverse global threats and c omplex and evolving security issues, peacekeeping operations, as a key means of conflict management, have irrefutably proven their necessity since their establishment.”
