“Colombia welcomes the flexibility shown by the Council to evaluate the Mission's mandate in accordance with the specific needs of the Haitian Government and the general situation of the country. In conclusion, as of now, Haiti is on board with the United Nations to rethink formulating its primary goals to maintain international peace and security that, we believe, with the Secretary-General's proposal for reform, takes us a step closer in the right direction. The Haitian people and the Council can always count on the support of my country. The meeting rose at 12.25 p.m.”

“Greater efforts and resources must be accorded to strengthening and training the Haitian National Police so that it can be fully committed to providing national security. In all such endeavours, we reiterate the importance of gender mainstreaming in the work of the Mission in a cross-cutting manner. We note with satisfaction that, as was mentioned earlier, such a spirit was illustrated by the gender makeup of the first class of court clerks and police officers. Colombia will continue to contribute its police, including in training female police officers, as we have done since 2006. The draft resolution that will extend the mandate of the Mission for one year includes a clear way for assessing progress made on the ground.”

“We underscore that the Mission's primary goal is to help the Haitian Government in strengthening the rule of law, the judicial system and the Haitian National Police, as well as human rights. All of that will contribute to achieving the sustainable development agenda in Haiti. As the police force and the judiciary go hand in hand, it is necessary to bolster the capacity of both sectors so as to strengthen the rule of law and deal with urgent problems in Haiti. We concur with the Secretary-General's report that the entire judicial system, including the prison system, requires meaningful reforms, and it is in such areas that it is especially important to concentrate efforts, with the political will demonstrated by the Government of President Moise and the support of MINUJUSTH and of the entire international community.”

“We are pleased to note that Haiti has continued to move forward in consolidating the country's democracy and stability. We note with satisfaction that the transition from the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti to MINUJUSTH has gone smoothly, and that the MINUJUSTH is fully operational. That shows that it is possible to depend upon operations that fulfil the roles for which they were established. As a friendly country whose historical ties with Haiti have linked our two countries since the birth of our nation, Colombia believes that it is important to stress the fact that there can be no real stability or sustainable development in Haiti without strengthening democratic institutions.”

“Mr. Carlier Gonzalez (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): First of all, let me congratulate the Kingdom of the Netherlands for its successful presidency of the Security Council for the month of March and to convey to you, Sir, my delegation's sincere congratulations on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for this month. We wish you every success in your functions. We thank the Secretary-General for his report (8/2018/241) on the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), and in particular thank Under-Secretary-General Jean-Pierre Lacroix for his briefing marking the Mission's first six months of operations. Colombia aligns itself with the statement made by the Permanent Representative of Canada on behalf of the Group of Friends of Haiti.”
