1. “As such, it is noteworthy that the Secretary-General has recommended downsizing the military component of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) by 120 troops, while adding the same number of police officers to the formed police units. It also explains why the Haitian authorities are also considering the re-establishment of a special gendarmerie-type force with domestic security responsibilities. As a country that has long-standing experience and expertise in such forces, Turkey stands ready to cooperate with the Haiti Government if and when it is ready to take further steps in that direction. That said, the positive developments in the field of security should not make us forget that the underlying causes of instability in Haiti - extreme poverty and the unstable socio-economic environment - are still there.”

2. “The donors conference in Washington, D.C., in April also provided a much-needed political and financial boost to our collective efforts. We observe with great pleasure that the Haitian people and Government have also been most responsive to those efforts, vindicating the investment of the United Nations and the international community in Haiti. In that context, we are particularly glad to see increased political cooperation among the parties, as evidenced by the partial senatorial elections having being held without major incident and by the security environment preserving its calm. All those developments point in the same direction - the security situation in Haiti is clearly evolving from the risk of a major social outburst to a less massive, but still relatively precarious condition, requiring first and foremost policing tasks.”

3. “Today's debate, the second within the past five months, and the wide interest that it has drawn from the Member States stand as testimony to the importance that we all attach to nurturing the promise of that country. In fact, much has already been accomplished to that end, and this year in particular has been an extremely encouraging period regarding Haiti's prospects. As such, today's meeting gives us a good opportunity to take stock of the progress made so far and to reiterate our resolve for continued engagement. In that regard, the appointment of and visits by President Clinton, as well as the Security Council mission to Haiti, have helped us streamline our endeavours towards that country with renewed focus and dedication.”

4. “I would first like to thank the United Nations Special Envoy for Haiti, President Clinton, and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Hedi Annabi, for their briefings. Let me also extend a warm welcome to Prime Minister Pierre-Louis and thank her for her insightful presentation. We also thank her for the excellent hospitality accorded to the Security Council mission in March this year. I would further like to take this opportunity to express our deep appreciation to President Clinton for his involvement in the advancement of peace and development in Haiti. His special role in helping to generate a broader awareness of the challenges facing Haiti, as well as in further motivating the international community to address the needs and expectations of the Haitian people, is most commendable.”
