  1. “The renewed stability of Haiti's institutions is opening new horizons for its people. At this historic turning point, the Government of Haiti hopes that the United Nations will continue to be at its side in order to help it acquire the necessary public infrastructure to pull itself out of the gutter and focus resolutely on growth, sustainable development and improving its living conditions. Trafficking in persons is a serious threat to humankind and to human dignity and development. I hope that the dialogue begun today in the Security Council will result in concrete, practical recommendations, whose implementation will make a major contribution to intensifying the fight against every aspect of this scourge, one of the worst forms of modern slavery.”

  2. “With the help of the United Nations, including MINUSTAH, the Haitian authorities have implemented various programmes aimed at improving the protection of human rights, including strengthening its judiciary and security forces, which have borne fruit. At the same time, other efforts, focused on reducing poverty, marginalization, exclusion and discrimination have helped to mitigate some of the factors that leave various groups vulnerable to trafficking. But we are aware that much remains to be done to increase the effectiveness of the fight against human trafficking and protect its victims. Happily, Haiti has just reached an important stage in the process of consolidating democracy and the rule of law with its holding of legislative and presidential elections in November and the forthcoming announcement of a new President of the Republic.”

  3. “We particularly support the importance of taking a more realistic approach that focuses on preventing trafficking and exploitation where they are likely problems in areas of transit, crisis or actual or potential conflict. Similarly, Haiti intends to be fully involved in global action against trafficking in persons, as well as in international and regional mechanisms countering terrorism and organized crime. Over the past few years, in accordance with the Global Plan of Action and the Work Plan to Combat Trafficking in Persons in the Western Hemisphere of the Organization of American States, Haiti has enacted a range of measures designed to prevent, suppress and punish trafficking in persons, particularly women and children.”

  4. “That is why the Government of Haiti believes that in combating human trafficking, in general, and in conflict situations in particular, it is essential to act simultaneously on two major tracks: accelerating development and strengthening world security, two pillars that are also mutually reinforcing. The Republic of Haiti supports the United Nations in its indefatigable search for solutions to long-standing regional conflicts and to ongoing and potential local clashes that add to the flow of uprooted and displaced persons, refugees and migrants and, as a result, fuel human trafficking. We are in favour of any measure that is likely to contribute to international humanitarian intervention in conflict zones by ensuring better care and protection for the most vulnerable groups, those likely to be prey to organized crime.”

  5. “The intolerable violence done to the victims of trafficking in persons in conflict situations is especially tragic and demands broad, urgent and effective action. Even if we rightly consider that armed conflicts exacerbate the factors that leave people vulnerable to human trafficking, we must not lose sight of the fact that its underlying causes are poverty, unemployment, the absence of socioeconomic prospects, gender- based violence, discrimination and marginalization, as emphasized in the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons. The answer to the problem therefore depends largely on the creation of a secure environment and conditions conducive to the socioeconomic development, growth and expansion of individuals and communities. We must therefore tackle the source of the problem.”

  6. “Even peacekeeping operations are not exempt from human trafficking. Among others, my country - where the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) mandated by the Security Council has been deployed for 12 years - has been targeted by the Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children, who has strongly condemned the rise in cases of violence, abuse and sexual exploitation involving women and children directly related to the deployment ofpeacekeeping forces in conflict zones. A number of voices have already been raised, particularly in organizations devoted to the defence ofhuman rights, to highlight the inadequacy of stakeholders' responses, including the United Nations, to victims of exploitation in assistance programmes and conflict, post-conflict and reconstruction situations.”

  7. “In a word, it attacks fundamental freedoms and human rights. The intolerable images that reach us from the main theatres of conflict, particularly Syria, but also from all over the Middle East and Africa, speak volumes about the dreadful suffering and vulnerability of children, refugees, displaced families and people uprooted from their homes - potential victims who often become prey to organized criminal intermediaries. The moving testimony this morning from Ms. Ameena Saeed Hasan and Ms. Nadia Murad Basee Taha brought home to us the daily tragedies of people such as the Yazidis in Iraq. Armed conflicts, whether the product of civil war or regional or local conflicts related to terrorism, can result in extreme versions of the consequences of the kind of coercion usually associated with human trafficking.”

  8. “Mr. Bellerive (Haiti) (spoke in French): First, I would like to extend my condolences to the Russian Federation and to Germany following the tragic events in Ankara and Berlin. We firmly condemn such unspeakable crimes. On behalf of the President and Government of the Republic of Haiti, I thank the Spanish presidency of the Security Council for convening today's high-level debate on human trafficking in conflict situations. I take this opportunity to commend the Spanish presidency of the Council and to offer congratulations on today's highly inspired initiative. Just a year ago, the Security Council highlighted the adverse effects of human trafficking. Trafficking undermines the rule of law. It promotes other forms of transnational organized crime, exacerbates conflicts, fuels insecurity and accentuates vulnerability.”

  9. “The challenges on the road to the stabilization of Haiti were enormous before 12 January 2010. They are even greater today. However, the solidarity so clearly demonstrated by the international community, in particular by the United Nations, provides the people and Government of Haiti with the hope - indeed, the certainty - that a brighter future is possible. I would like to conclude by thanking the United Nations for having appointed this wonderful friend of Haiti, Mr. Edmond Mulet, to replace the late Hedi Annabi. I would like to pay tribute to the thousands of men and women who, within the framework of the Organization or in cooperation with it, struggle every day for the reconstruction of my country. We continue to require their assistance, and we will do everything to deserve it.”

  10. “The consolidation of the democratic process and of political stability is crucial for the success of the reconstruction process as well as for efforts to attract investment and promote job creation. In this respect, the President has clearly reaffirmed his desire to organize general elections before the end of his term of office, on the basis of the conclusions of the electoral feasibility mission that the Secretary-General was gracious enough to send to Haiti. Given the current conditions, technical, logistic and security support by MINUSTAH will be necessary to ensure the holding of free and transparent elections according to timetable to be drawn up by the competent authorities. In the same vein, MINUSTAH should play a significant role in coordinating international electoral assistance to guarantee its effectiveness.”

  11. “One of the Government's priorities is to restore, through the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, the operational capacities of the judicial authorities and to guarantee access to justice within affected communities. We welcome the proposal to provide the Government with MINUSTAH facilities and equipment to enable rule of law institutions to better fulfil their duties. At the same time, increased logistical and technical support for the Ministry of the Interior and Territorial Collectivities in the 10 departmental delegations over the brief course of 18 months would enable the Government to progress in the implementation of a decentralization and regional development policy, which is one of the best possible responses to the causes and consequences of the scale of the disaster that resulted from the earthquake of 12 January.”

  12. “All of this has been discussed broadly in Port-au-Prince with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General. We endorse the approach proposed by the Secretary-General and the minor adjustments to the mandate, as spelled out in his most recent report (S/2010/200), in the field of security, assistance to rule of law institutions and Government initiatives in favour of decentralization. On the topic of public security, the Haitian National Police (HNP) force suffered great losses in human life and equipment in the earthquake of 12 January. A strengthening of MINUSTAH's police presence would promote the development of the capacity of the HNP to ensure the security of individuals, and especially of displaced populations, and to prevent a resurgence of armed groups.”

  13. “The earthquake profoundly changed the context in which MINUSTAH supports the Haitian State. For the Government, the next 18 months will present new risks and heightened challenges to the management of the post-disaster response and the recovery, reconstruction and rebirth of the country. The presence of MINUSTAH remains necessary to consolidating the achievements of the stabilization process and to creating conducive conditions to initiate lasting sustainable socio-economic development. We consider the current mandate of the Mission to be adequate. However, it appears that a temporary adjustment of the mandate would be desirable to ensure that support for the Government should, in the short term, more efficiently and directly meet the needs of the post-disaster situation.”

  14. “Among other initiatives, we welcome the deployment of engineers from Japan and the Republic of Korea in February to bolster the operational capacities of the Mission and to assist humanitarian actions. Given the major challenges posed by the management and establishment of displaced person camps in Port-au-Prince, as well as the rehabilitation of infrastructure destroyed by the earthquake, we urge Member States, as far as possible, to deploy further engineers, especially as MINUSTAH possesses the necessary space for the deployment of additional engineering equipment. We understand that the dispatch of additional trained police units is under discussion. In this connection, the Government of Haiti would welcome the foreseen strengthening of the Mission's police component.”

  15. “Mr. Bellerive (Haiti) (spoke in French): I would like to express my gratitude to the members of the Security Council for having agreed to listen, through me, to the voice of Haiti during their deliberations. My statement will be short, given the fact that it is in line with the views expressed in the Secretary- General's report (S/2010/200) and the statement made by his Special Representative in Haiti. The Government of Haiti wishes to thank the members of the Security Council for the outpouring of solidarity towards the people of Haiti following the earthquake. We especially thank the Security Council for having authorized the deployment of additional military and police contingents within the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH).”
