“I take this opportunity to underscore the words of Ambassador Rice with regard to the fact that international assistance should ensure economic development and the creation ofjobs over the long term. That is indeed the only way in which the Mission can succeed.”

“Mariano Fernandez Amunategui as Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of MINUSTAH during a period marked by difficulties and challenges. He has carried his work forward in an outstanding manner, as evidenced this morning by his presentation of the report of the Secretary-General. Guatemala will continue to support his work. In conclusion, I should like to stress that Guatemala fully supports the international community's efforts to assist Haiti in the reconstruction and strengthening of its institutions through a permanent and strategic partnership aimed at creating a better future for Haiti. I now resume my functions as President of the Security Council.”

“With regard to security, we note that the level of operational effectiveness of the Haitian National Police will constitute the main benchmark in setting the pace for the drawdown of the Mission's uniformed personnel. We fully support the development of a transition compact that will make it possible to measure the progress made in the stabilization process, going beyond the work of MINUSTAH into the realms of development and institution-building. In that respect, we welcome the recent launch of the aid coordination mechanism presented by the Haitian authorities last week in New York at the beginning of the general debate. Thirdly, I would like in particular to commend the work done by Mr.”

“All of those achievements represent important milestones in Haiti's efforts to strengthen its democratic and rule-of-law institutions. We are also pleased that the establishment of the Permanent Electoral Council is back on track after some setbacks, and we trust that the electoral process in Haiti will resume after delays of almost one year. Secondly, Guatemala will remain committed to Haiti and to United Nations peacekeeping operations for as long as necessary. We support the MINUSTAH reconfiguration and consolidation process. We look forward to more details on this new consolidation plan. Carrying it out will require intensive coordination among a wide range of national and international stakeholders, and it will be subject to various development and implementation timelines.”

“A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of making a brief visit to our contingent of 137 personnel in Port-au-Prince; I also took that opportunity to visit MINUSTAH headquarters. This debate therefore has a strong personal resonance for me, for my country, for my region, and, of course, for the United Nations. In that regard, I would like to make just three brief points. First, we believe that the report of the Secretary- General (S/2012/678) paints a promising picture. It combines the required caution with the hope necessary to continue moving forward. We congratulate Haiti on the swearing in of a new Government, the publication of the correction version of the constitutional amendments and the establishment of the Superior Council of the Judiciary.”

“We are all the more pleased given the topic of today's debate: the renewal of the mandate of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), above all because of Guatemala's commitment to Haiti. As the Council is aware, the countries of our region feel a sense of ownership regarding MINUSTAH. Twelve Latin American countries contribute troops and police; and the Force Commander has always hailed from our region, as has, most of the time, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General. We are pleased that a Guatemalan, Edmond Mulet, has in the past occupied this important post. We are also pleased that our troops have been present in Haiti since the establishment of the first Mission in 1993, and continuously since the establishment of MINUSTAH.”

“I thank Mr. Fernandez Amunategui for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Guatemala. Allow me to deviate from past practice by taking the floor at the beginning of our debate instead of at the end. I am doing this because I consider it an honour for Guatemala, as well as a personal honour for myself, to preside over this first substantive meeting of the Security Council during the month of October. This is for us a historic event; this is the first time that Guatemala has assumed the presidency of the Security Council since the founding of the United Nations. I did not want to wait until the end of the debate to make mention of that fact.”
