  1. “A solution to the political, security and humanitarian assistance crises, however vital at this time, will nonetheless not suffice in the medium and long term. A true, viable and feasible plan, along with the necessary resources, is needed that would give real opportunities to all sectors of the population and would entail new activities and raise new hope. Otherwise, we will again be faced with a situation that has all-too-familiar consequences. The international community, particularly the Latin American and Caribbean region, expresses its deep concern for the fate of the sister people of Haiti and stands united in calling on the Council to take the necessary steps to achieve a political and diplomatic solution that is peaceful and institutional, thereby avoiding further suffering on the part of the noble Haitian people.”

  2. “We understand the difficulty of the prevailing conditions and we support those organizations that are making heroic efforts in the field to bring food and medicine to the neediest people. It is essential to appeal to the international community, to Governments, to institutions and to governmental and non-governmental organizations to speed up and increase humanitarian assistance. We are facing here a situation that also calls for urgent and immediate action. The fourth front, to which notably scant attention has been paid, is the economic, social and institutional development of Haiti. It is important to rely on an emergency plan from the economic, financial and institutional point of view, followed by a medium and long-term plan that will ensure economic, social and environmental development.”

  3. “We do understand that the situation is complex, that positions have become extreme, that tempers are running high, but efforts must be redoubled on the political front before it is too late. Insofar as security is concerned, there is talk about sending a quick response multinational force to stabilize the country and, in particular, to avoid further clashes and suffering on the part of the Haitian people. We would View with interest and would support a Security Council decision to create and dispatch a multinational peace and stability force to Haiti. The Haitian Government has appealed for assistance from the international community and a response must be given. The precarious situation in which humanitarian assistance is being carried out is also cause for great concern.”

  4. “The Security Council must play a decisive role in finding solutions to the worsening of the Haitian crisis by taking urgent and agreed upon steps and measures to deal with this situation, which could lead to even more serious consequences. We are thus faced with the moral and political imperative to do our utmost to avoid any more suffering on the part of the Haitian people. The action of the Council, in our opinion, must be directed towards finding solutions in the following four areas: political, security, humanitarian, and economic and financial. On the political front, a dialogue must begin as soon as possible among the Government, the opposition and the rebel groups to find a peaceful, institutional and negotiated outcome to this crisis.”

  5. “At this time, we would like to emphasize the significance of having this item addressed in the Security Council, since we consider that the situation of Haiti deserves speedy and determined action on the part of this important body entrusted with the preservation of peace and security. The international community has also expressed its concern in statements and through the steps taken by regional organizations such as the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). For its part, the United Nations has announced the appointment of a Special Representative of the Secretary-General. Unfortunately, all of these steps have, as yet, had very limited results.”

  6. “Mr. Aranibar Quiroga (Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): Mr. President, I would like to express my delegation's thanks to you for having convened this meeting of the Security Council to consider the situation in the sister republic of Haiti. We welcome the presence, at the beginning of this meeting, of the Secretary-General, as well as that of the Foreign Ministers of Jamaica and the Bahamas. Bolivia has already expressed its deep concern regarding the serious situation in Haiti at the General Assembly meeting convened by its President, Mr. Julian Hunte, to hear the report of the Under- Secretary-General for Political Affairs.”
