  1. “Before concluding, I would like to return to the main conclusions of the most recent report of the Secretary-General on Haiti, where he notes that, notwithstanding difficulties, we have an opportunity to advance towards the consolidation of stability in Haiti. To this end, the continued commitment of international community to support Haiti's security, State institutions and economic and social development must be ensured.”

  2. “The success of the United Nations will be demonstrated when its presence is no longer necessary. We are facing a unique historic opportunity to align the contributions of the international community with the priorities established by the Government of Haiti for its own economic and social development. In this context, I wish to stress the commitment of the Latin American countries to Haiti, especially through technical cooperation projects entailing a substantial human resources presence and aimed at strengthening the Haitian State. The cooperation that Argentina provides to Haiti in the fields of food security and strengthening the structures of the Ministry of Planning and Cooperation and the Ministry of Economy and Finance are carried out in this context.”

  3. “For this reason, the upcoming donor conference in Washington is an opportunity to move forward on Haiti's economic and social development and in its institution-building, confronting the many challenges that face us. To this end, the coordination of international cooperation with Haiti must be improved and institutional capacity in Haiti must be strengthened, thus ensuring the dawning of a new age. We must work for Haiti to take charge, in the medium- term, of the implementation and coordination of the assistance it receives. The United Nations has an essential role to play, since without a real bolstering of the Haitian State, a political consultation process that ensures governance and a basic level of human development, the factors that made it necessary for the Organization to intervene will never be resolved.”

  4. “However, we note with concern that Haiti's opportunities for economic and social development have been significantly compromised, especially because of the grave damage inflicted by natural disasters. The situation in Haiti continues to be fragile owing to persistent poverty and unemployment and the limited capacity of Haitian institutions to provide basic services to the population. The close relationship between security and development highlights the fact that the action of the international community cannot and must not be confined to the presence of MINUSTAH, as any lack of visible improvement in the living conditions of the Haitian people could endanger the country's stability.”

  5. “As a country participating in MINUSTAH, the first peace mission with a majority of Latin American contingents, in terms of both troops and the military command, Argentina is pleased that the Mission has become a decisive factor in re-establishing stability and security in the country and in supporting the Haitian people in its commitment to democracy. The recent Security Council mission to Haiti noted the progress made in the security sphere and stressed the support that MINUSTAH gives the Haitian National Police to build its capacity. It also indicated that the improvements achieved can be seen in the decrease in the crime rate and in the increasing confidence of the Haitian people in the police. The progress made in the area of security is encouraging.”

  6. “Similarly, the resolution of the political crisis triggered by the fall of the Prime Minister in April 2008, through the appointment of a new Prime Minister in September of the same year, and the call for parliamentary elections, which will take place in this month of April 2009, are milestones in the development of the Haitian political process that we should see in a positive light. That is the meaning of what the Secretary- General is saying in his latest report on Haiti (S/2009/129) when he stresses the progress on the political dialogue, reflected in the will of Haitian political leaders to work together to respond to the country's situation, and in particular to the crisis created by the devastating hurricanes and tropical storms of 2008.”

  7. “When, in 2004, the Security Council established the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), the country was sinking into violence to which the State had no institutional capacity to respond. For this reason, the Council established an integrated mission with a strong mandate, focused on the issue of security. The main objective of MINUSTAH was to establish a secure, stable environment, where the political and constitutional process in the country could develop. In this sense, we can say that in the current phase of its development, the Mission has certainly made significant progress. Thus, the coming to power of a constitutionally elected Haitian Government was a first major step in the political life of the country.”

  8. “Mr. Argfiello (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): I would like at the outset to indicate that my delegation associates itself with the statement of the Permanent Representative of Uruguay, who spoke on behalf of the Group of Friends of Haiti. I also wish to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of April and, in particular, to thank the delegation of Mexico for convening this open debate on the situation in Haiti. In addition, I wish to highlight the importance of the Visits by the Security Council mission and by the Secretary-General to Haiti as a demonstration of the international community's commitment with respect to the situation in the country.”
