  1. “United Nations action in Haiti attests to the need to ensure coherence between supporting the political process, keeping peace and promoting development and human rights. In that respect, in our view, Haiti represents a test and reference model of the Council's ability to handle a transition based on a recognition of the close connection that exists among prevention, peacekeeping and peacebuilding, and comply with the criteria of effectiveness, peer mandates and a well- timed sustainable exit strategy.”

  2. “It is essential to ensure continuity and to identify, as of now, a strategy to progressively transfer competencies to the country team, whose role will be strengthened and, ultimately, to Haitian authorities. We invite the Secretary-General to continue that planning effort on the basis of the integrated approach highlighted in his report (S/2017/604). I would like in particular to underscore the political strategy underlined in the MINUJUSTH priorities outlined by the Secretary- General. We fully share the pivotal role assigned to the Mission's political pillar and to its good offices, as well as the intention to put in place mobile and integrated Mission deployment throughout the country, in order to maximize its impact while at the same time keeping a light footprint.”

  3. “We welcome the adoption last week by the General Assembly of resolution 71/161 B, which Italy co-sponsored. Secondly, Italy remains firmly convinced that the transition between the two Missions is a due response to the evolution of the country's needs. Building on the results achieved by MINUSTAH, MINUJUSTH will have targeted tools that are adjusted to the present conditions on the ground and to the specific challenges being tackled by the Haitian authorities. That transition must be well planned and responsible. So far, the withdrawal of MINUSTAH has not affected the overall security situation and we invite the Secretary-General to continue to follow that process with special attention and to keep the Council duly informed.”

  4. “We welcome the priority assigned by the authorities to its consolidation, which remains an essential pillar of security and stability in the country. Efforts must be redoubled to address weaknesses in the rule of law and justice system, with a special focus on the independence of the judiciary, the reform of the corrections system, the reduction of women's vulnerability and their increased participation in the political and socioeconomic life of the country. The United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH) would rightly focus on those sectors. Among the challenges still facing the country, allow me to point out the fight against cholera. We highly appreciate the Secretary-General's commitment to supporting the Government's efforts in that fight.”

  5. “A constructive collaboration between the Government and the Parliament and an inclusive dialogue with civil society are now crucial to implementing the reform agenda jointly adopted by the executive and legislative branches, as well as for the development of a shared national vision for the country's future. We encourage the Haitian Government to continue on that path. We welcome the start of a thorough assessment of constitutional review and emphasize in particular the importance of a consensual and effective reform of the electoral system. With the assistance of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), the Haitian National Police has achieved remarkable results, on which it must now build.”

  6. “I thank Special Representative of the Secretary-General Honore Braithwaite for her substantive briefing and her and her staff's commendable service. Italy aligns itself with the statement to be made by the observer of the European Union. In recent months, Haiti has continued its path towards consolidating its stability and constitutional order, thereby reaffirming the Security Council's decision to better adjust to the present needs of the country by withdrawing the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and replacing it with United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH). As the Council witnessed during its mission last June, Haiti is at a crossroads.”

  7. “In conclusion, let me renew Italy's full support for the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Both play a vital role in the country.”

  8. “At the political level, Italy remains convinced that the full implementation of the 31 December agreement continues to be the only viable and agreed political road map, and is therefore key to sustaining the legitimacy of transitional institutions. That transition must lead the country towards democratic and transparent elections, to be help as soon as possible and in compliance with the constitution and the 31 December agreement. In that connection, the Independent National Electoral Commission's declarations today are not encouraging. We call on the Government and Congolese political forces to speed up the preparation of credible, peaceful and inclusive elections conducive to a democratic transfer of power.”

  9. “I thank Under-Secretary- General Lacroix for his comprehensive briefing. Italy is deeply worried by the worsening of the security and humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in particular in the Kasai provinces. The spillover effect of the situation on the stability ofthe region should also not be underestimated. We are equally concerned by the shrinking of the democratic space in the country and human rights violations. The Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has the primary responsibility to respect and protect the rights of all of its citizens. We encourage it to fulfil its obligations, including those to hold accountable the perpetrators of violence.”

  10. “Not only is prevention the right choice: it is also the smart choice. The emerging broad consensus among the membership should now be operationalized by strengthening the tools of preventive diplomacy, including financially. It is thus important to renew our collective focus on the peaceful settlement of disputes under Chapter VI of the Charter and to develop our partnerships with regional and subregional organizations, in particular with the African Union, under Chapter VIII. In the same spirit, Italy believes in closer cooperation between the Security Council and the Peacebuilding Commission, for instance by inviting the Chairs of the country-specific configurations to participate in Council meetings as appropriate.”

  11. “Among the merits of Agenda 2030 is the fact that it introduces an integrated approach to security; just as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will promote peace, so is peace essential to the SDGs. It is therefore vital to understand and address the root causes of today's challenges. The implementation of the recently adopted Sustainable Development Goals will also play a critical role in the prevention of violent extremism and contribute to the effective management of migrations and of the unprecedented number of refugees and internally displaced persons. This leads me to my third point, which is also my final one: revitalizing the preventive tools at the disposal ofthe Council. The rhetorical battle on conflict prevention has been won. There is broad consensus on its centrality and on the great risks that can stem from inaction.”

  12. “While respecting the different roles and mandates of the United Nations organs, closer attention should be paid to broader security issues, which are a matter of concern for a growing part of the membership, and closer cooperation between the General Assembly and the Security Council should be sought. As a best practice, I would point to the open debate held during the New Zealand presidency of the Council on the security challenges facing the small island developing States and also recall the prompt and efficient response taken by the Council with regard to the Ebola crisis. Secondly, with respect to fostering an integrated approach and addressing the root causes of instability, I would note that today's challenges are complex by nature.”

  13. “This is how our Organization has been able to achieve significant results in the past 70 years, lifting millions out of poverty, promoting the rule of law and respect for human rights, and advancing fundamental freedoms. This is how we reached milestone agreements last year such as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (General Assembly resolution 70/ 1) and the Paris Agreement. Rest assured of Italy's continuous commitment. At the same time, 70 years have passed, and a fresh look is needed. Allow me to make some brief points. First, concerning awareness, we must recognize that today's security challenges are different from those of the past and that the security landscape before us is rapidly changing.”

  14. “Italy aligns itself with the statement delivered by the European Union and wishes to add the following remarks in its national capacity. Last October, at the initiative of Spain, Member States recommitted themselves to the principles and the values of the Charter. These principles and values hold the same relevance today as they did 70 years ago. They are the bedrock of the effective multilateralism that the United Nations embodies when we work together constructively. We must continue to promote and strengthen these values to address today's pressing challenges: from climate change to sustainable development; from preventing violent extremism to addressing regional conflicts; and from managing migration to finding solutions to the unprecedented number of refugees.”
