  1. “As a result, in future responses in terms of peacekeeping missions, it is important for the Security Council to take into account, at an early phase, such crucial interlinkages between peacekeeping and development. That is, in my view, one of the crucial conditions for the maintenance of a lasting peace on the ground.”

  2. “We hope that the Security Council and all our partners in the international community will maintain their support for the Government and people of Haiti as they strengthen the rule of law and democracy. In more general terms, we believe that the example of MINUSTAH in Haiti could, in spite of its limitations, serve in many ways as a model for establishing an effective post-conflict peacekeeping mandate. Capacity-building in the area of security should go hand in hand with development concerns. Our partners in the international community must work with the host country, and in harmony with its national development strategy, to create conditions conducive to lasting inclusive development - in other words, to improving the people's living conditions, which is a decisive factor in the maintenance ofpeace.”

  3. “With regard in particular to the current political situation, which has raised some concern among members of the international community, I wish to reassure all our partners that, thanks to the spirit of compromise and consensus shown by President Joseph Martelli and the majority of the Haitian political class, Haiti has successfully overcome the crisis that threatened to undermine the progress of the stabilization programme undertaken during the past decade. This is an indisputable example of the Haitian people's true political maturity and their significant achievements attained, inter alia, with the support of MINUSTAH in stabilization and development. We are deeply grateful to our partners in the international community for their support to the people and Government of Haiti throughout the exceptional crisis in our country.”

  4. “We are pleased that certain development needs, and in particular those involving infrastructure, post-earthquake reconstruction and the protection of civilians have been taken into account, including in the framework of quick impact projects, which make significant contributions to the maintenance of peace and stability. The two parties attach equal importance to ownership by the Haitian Government of joint projects and where follow-up must be guaranteed.”

  5. “This is why, during its long-standing cooperation with the members of the Security Council concerning the mandate of MINUSTAH, the Haitian Government has always stressed its desire to see its partners attach greater importance to development needs, in particular the many structural deficiencies and vulnerabilities that hinder the economic and social integration of disadvantaged groups and the delivery of essential services to the population. In this regard, we welcome the convergence of vision and efforts of the Haitian Government and MINUSTAH in shaping and adapting the stabilization programme.”

  6. “The Haitian Government fully endorses the current efforts to adopt a comprehensive, consistent and integrated approach to peacekeeping and security, based on preventing conflicts or their resumption. We believe in particular that peacekeeping and the need for development go hand in hand. To be truly effective in the long term, peacekeeping must be part of an overarching political arrangement that takes into account all emerging threats to security and all situations that may promote underdevelopment or contain the seeds of conflict and their possible reoccurrence.”

  7. “A peacekeeping operation, regardless of the scope of the resources available to it for capacity-building in the area of security, is never enough in and of itself to bring peace and balance to the community in question if the missions ignores or underestimates the link between security and development, and between inclusive development and peacekeeping. Development challenges raise multiple questions. The United Nations, backed by its experience acquired in some 50 peacekeeping missions worldwide, has established an irreplaceable normative framework that increasingly encompasses not only the many sources of instability and conflict, but also the dynamic interactions between these factors, which in post-conflict situations often set up insurmountable obstacles to growth, development and, consequently, to any effort to build lasting peace.”

  8. “Mr. Brutus (Haiti) (spoke in French): I would like at the outset to thank you, Madam President, the Secretary-General, and Ambassador Patriota for their opening statements. I would also like to express my appreciation to the representative of Venezuela, whose statement touched upon the situation in Haiti. Finally, I would like to commend the Security Council for having taken the initiative to convene this open debate, which is so important with respect to inclusive development and peacekeeping. I am particularly pleased to participate as the Republic of Haiti has benefited for the past 10 years from the presence of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), whose mandate clearly reflects the interlinkages between peace and development. The relevance of the Council's discussion is clear.”
