“Indeed, the fact that the parties were able to sign the comprehensive peace agreement in Nairobi on 9January is due in no small part to the Council's efforts, under the leadership of Ambassador Danforth, to encourage the Naivasha process during its meetings in the Kenyan capital. In bidding Ambassador Danforth a fond farewell, the other members of the Council and I wish him every success in his new endeavours.”

“As this is the last time that Ambassador John Danforth will participate in the Council's deliberations in his current capacity as Permanent Representative of the United States, I wish to take this opportunity to express to him, on behalf of the members of the Council, our appreciation of him as a colleague and friend. Ambassador Danforth will likely best be remembered as having initiated and led the Security Council's meetings in Nairobi, Kenya, on 18 and 19 November last year, marking the first time in over 30 years that the Security Council met on the African continent.”

“There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. I cannot conclude without thanking the Secretariat, whose staff members tirelessly provided water and other essential logistical support, as well as the interpreters, without whom the Security Council would be a Tower of Babel. The meeting rose at 5.35 p.m.”

“The Council fully supports MINUSTAH's continuing facilitation of this process. "The Security Council calls upon the Transitional Government, with the assistance of MINUSTAH and the Organization of American States (OAS), to take urgently the necessary measures to ensure the holding of free and fair elections in 2005 and the subsequent transfer of power to elected authorities, and welcomes the recent decisions of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) in its preparations. It encourages all political parties that have rejected violence to participate in the electoral process. "The Security Council expresses its intention to organize a mission to Haiti before 1 June 2005, possibly in conjunction with a mission of the Economic and Social Council Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti.”

“"The Security Council welcomes recent steps taken by the Transitional Government of Haiti to release some individuals being held without formal charge or trial, and calls on the Transitional Government to review all such cases in order to ensure full respect for due process and the rule of law. In this regard, the Council calls on MINUSTAH to continue its support for the provision of human rights training to Haitian judicial, police and correctional authorities to ensure adherence to international norms and standards. "The Security Council encourages the Transitional Government to continue to take steps towards a comprehensive and inclusive national dialogue and reconciliation process and calls upon all political actors in Haiti to renounce violence and join this dialogue without delay.”

“"The Security Council renews its appeal for the prompt disbursement of the funds pledged by international financial institutions and donor countries at the International Donors Conference on Haiti held in July 2004. It recognizes the need for MINUSTAH, other organs of the United Nations system, international financial institutions and Member States to assist the Transitional Government in the preparation and implementation of development projects in Haiti, as well as quick-impact projects. The Council reiterates the need to assist the Transitional Government in establishing a long-term development strategy for Haiti, in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Interim Cooperation Framework.”

“"The Security Council underlines the important role of MINUSTAH in ensuring a secure environment and commends the recent joint operations by MINUSTAH and the Haitian National Police (HNP), in particular against all illegal armed groups. It notes however that further urgent action is needed to continue to improve the security situation. The Council again calls on all parties in Haiti to respect human rights and to renounce the use of violence to advance their goals. "The Security Council encourages the Transitional Government to create without delay the National Commission on Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR), to address all armed groups, particularly former members of the military, in a comprehensive manner. It notes that any compensation should be part of a comprehensive and durable solution.”

“I thank the Special Representative for his clear comments and for his kind words addressed to me. Following consultations among the members of the Security Council, I have been authorized to make the following statement on behalf of the Council. "The Security Council reaffirms the comprehensive mandate of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) as set forth in resolutions 1542 (2004) and 1576 (2004), and expresses its support for the United Nations presence in Haiti as long as necessary. "The Security Council underlines that national reconciliation, security and economic development remain key to stability in Haiti, and, in that regard, stresses that all Member States and international organizations, especially those in the region, should support the Transitional Government of Haiti in those efforts.”

“For projects that still lack essential technical expertise, the region offers its most competent technicians, who can join their efforts with those already under way. Sometimes, speaking with excessive candour can leave the audience with the feeling that the speaker has not been sincere enough. However, I have tried to express myself with candour and also with sincerity. My country renews its commitment to work for development, peaceful understanding and social justice in Haiti. I hope that this joint effort, which is the purpose of this debate, will lighten the path towards overcoming the difficulties and the injustice in Haiti, that beloved Caribbean country. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council. I give the floor to the representative of Peru.”

“The reconstruction of the Haitian economy, together with the restoration of democratic institutions and the maintenance of a secure environment based on respect for the law, is essential. The donor conference held in Washington represents a new source of opportunities and hope for Haiti, and we urge that it be translated into concrete action. It will be necessary to identify infrastructure projects and innovative cooperation mechanisms that will generate economic reconstruction. Donors must strive to honour their commitments. We also hope that the programme of work formulated by the United Nations, the United Nations Development Programme, the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank will be an action framework through which we, together with the authorities of Haiti, can begin to turn the situation around.”

“In the context of rebuilding institutions, Argentina has offered technical assistance to support the Transitional Government in the tasks of organizing, supervising and holding free and fair elections as soon as possible. For the electoral process to succeed, a broad-based dialogue among all the local political forces is essential, the only condition being that they explicitly reject the use of violence. That includes leaders of the Fanmi Lavalas who have accepted the democratic process and have rejected violence. If being in Haiti today is a moral obligation, the international community must provide the assistance needed to cooperate in the functioning of a Haitian State apparatus that can provide essential needs to the country's inhabitants.”

“Furthermore, working within our capacities, Argentina is undertaking an analysis to determine the potential for Haiti to export its products to Argentina with a view to facilitating access to our markets. In the area of human rights - which is one of the pillars of our foreign policy - my country supports the efforts of the Transitional Government and urges it to be extremely careful so that there are no violations of the Haitians' basic rights. In the humanitarian field, our country has also wished to have a presence in Haiti. President Kirchner mandated the participation of White Helmets for humanitarian assistance. Solidarity is an excellent therapy for many mental states: arrogance, desperation, indifference, egomania.”

“The Organization has established the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), headed by a talented friend of my country, Ambassador Juan Gabriel Valdes of Chile, whom we congratulate on his outstanding performance. MINUSTAH includes civilian and military personnel from all over the world. It is an operation in which, for the first time, many American States have decided to act together: we feel that MINUSTAH is our mission. The regional presence in Haiti has made us a part of a search for a multifaceted solution that has a real chance of enduring. In this context, my country would like to see the creation of a number of mechanisms for cooperation.”

“He said, "Just because Haiti is a small country does not mean that it will allow such an abuse. Quite the contrary, small countries must be scrupulously respected because they are small - so that the rule of law remains a moral imperative, not something based on force". My country also feels compassion for Haiti - compassion in its true meaning, which is to understand the suffering of others and to wish to share it. More than a decade ago, the international community realized that it was necessary to help Haiti to break out of the vicious circle of poverty, authoritarianism, violence and desolation. As Argentina is presiding over the Security Council this month of January 2005, we proposed to convene an open debate on Haiti in the hope of finding realistic and lasting solutions.”

“I will now make a statement in my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship of the Argentine Republic - that sounds as though I am announcing to everyone that it is my birthday so as to receive gifts. But that is how the system works. In my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Argentine Republic, it is a privilege to address the Security Council. My country feels respect and friendship towards the Haitian people. We are also grateful to Haiti. On 9 June 1956, Argentina suffered a coup d'etat. Seven rebels struggling to re-establish the constitutional order, were granted asylum at the Haitian embassy in Buenos Aires. The Ambassador of Haiti at the time, Jean Brierre, saved his guests from being abducted and shot, with words that we in Argentina still remember today.”

“Defusing tensions, identifying common and unifying interests, promoting inclusiveness and building confidence are urgently required societal building blocks. They could facilitate a way forward on sensitive and contentious issues such as security, disarmament, development paths and priorities and elections. But ultimately, responsibility for creating favourable conditions for reconciliation, recovery and stability lies with the citizens of Haiti themselves. The building of democracy in Haiti and the creation of a stable political, social and economic order require the long-term commitment of the Haitians and their partners in the international community. The Caribbean Community salutes the key role played by Latin American States within MINUSTAH, as well as by the other contributing States.”

“Our joint and urgent task must be to help create a secure environment that permits open campaigning; to help ensure a political climate that facilitates the participation of all political groups that reject violence, including those currently outside the political and electoral process; and to help establish an effective administrative structure to conduct proper elections. As the difficulties of the transition process mount, the concepts of national dialogue and bridge- building are being increasingly advocated from within Haiti. Domestic attempts to make the idea of bringing together a representative cross-section of Haitian society a reality must be encouraged. In that connection, the Caribbean Community commends the exploratory efforts of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General.”

“Coherence and mutual reinforcement among the humanitarian, security, political and developmental strategies must also be ensured. Those strategies must also be informed by the harsh realities of the Haitian environment. Free and fair elections are pivotal to returning to constitutional rule. They are, however, only a critical way station on the long and arduous road to stability, recovery and a viable democracy. It is clear that the daunting prerequisites for credible elections later this year are not yet entirely within grasp.”

“Instability has an adverse effect on Haiti's neighbours as well, including the Bahamas and Jamaica, as it spurs illegal immigration and, increasingly, trafficking in small arms and drugs. The November report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAN) (S/2004/908) rightly underlines the need for increasing the capacity of the Stabilization Mission to implement disarmament, demobilization and reintegration. That must be a priority. Those who foment and engage in violence must be prosecuted. The disbursement of donor pledges is urgently required to help alleviate the desperate social and economic situation. It is to be hoped that the recent release of funds by the World Bank will be replicated by other major donors.”

“Now, one year later, the deep concerns of the regional and international communities have increased. We have been hearing references to that this morning. The inability of the interim administration to promote stability and political inclusiveness has been a stumbling block to progress. Insecurity and volatility persist. The lot of ordinary Haitians has not improved. The traditional clamour for a change in government is once again being raised. Hopelessness and joblessness combine with the easy availability of weapons to fill the ranks of the illegally armed groups that proliferate on both sides of the divide. Their activities, whether criminal or political in intent, subvert the authority of the State and must be curtailed.”

“Allegations of egregious abuses at the hands of the police must be fully investigated. The prolonged detention of Fanmi Lavalas leaders and activists without trial or charges can only be construed as arbitrary detention on the basis of political affiliation. Such persons should be released forthwith. That serious breach of fundamental rights is exacerbated by a persistent failure to prosecute the rebels for their criminal activity. Such an approach also hinders the establishment of an enabling political climate, without which peace and security cannot be sustained. CARICOM. remains committed to the people of Haiti. To that end, the Caribbean Community has put in place mechanisms such as an assistance programme, of which electoral support is a key component.”

“The elected President departed the country in circumstances still to be elucidated. An interim administration was subsequently put in place using some of the elements outlined in the CARICOM. Prior Action Plan. In the view of CARICOM, the fundamental tenets of democratic practice and behaviour have been compromised. We cannot vacillate on principles since they are essential to our security as small States. Continuing violations of the principles laid down in the CARICOM. Charter of Civil Society have made it impossible for the Community to receive representatives of Haiti in its councils. The interim administration must be held to internationally recognized standards with regard to respect for fundamental civil and political rights, due process and the rule of law.”

“Charter of Civil Society and the Inter- American Democratic Charter, the CARICOM initiative sought the following: to stabilize the political situation through a power-sharing arrangement; to avoid the repetition of the traditional Haitian practice of getting rid of the President by any means in order to resolve political conflict; and to help the Haitians find a pacific and political solution that would preserve the rule of law and constitutional continuity. Unfortunately, on 29 February 2004, the quick fix was in and principles thrown out. CARICOM. heads of Government were disappointed by the reluctance of the Security Council to take immediate action in response to appeals for assistance from the Government of Haiti and to the request of the Caribbean Community.”
