  1. “In that spirit, the Republic of Haiti will continue to work with all who believe that the role and involvement of regional organizations in maintaining international peace is now more essential than ever and should continue to grow in the future. In welcoming the initiative taken to institute this dialogue, I trust that it will open new lines of thought and for concrete action aimed at continued cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations.”

  2. “We must effectively reforge and renew the essential partnership between the United Nations and regional organizations, basing it on well-defined principles and endowing it with a precise legal framework and the resources necessary to allow those regional organizations to fully play their due role alongside the United Nations in a spirit of complementarity and in every area where their cooperation is desirable. The Secretary-General of the Organization of American States would not disagree with this, whether the issue is one ofconflict prevention, peacebuilding, electoral assistance, humanitarian action or monitoring respect for human rights.”

  3. “We should recall that as far back as 20 years, ago the Secretary-General was already calling for a model based on decentralization and delegation of authority in An Agenda for Peace (S/24111). Yes, various coordination and consultation mechanisms exist, and the record of cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations is far from negligible. Haiti is happy to bear witness to that. But as was recently emphasized again in Security Council resolution 2033 (2012), there is a feeling today that it is essential, in the spirit of Chapter VIII of the Charter, to combine the international legitimacy and legality of the United Nations with the advantages of regionalism. It is therefore incumbent on the international community today to bridge that gap, as the Security Council has called on us to do.”

  4. “However, we are compelled to conclude that, despite the inarguably spectacular development and success of the cooperation between the United Nations and regional organizations, when it comes to maintaining peace it still falls well short of the level that its potential might lead one to hope for, and that the international community has the right to expect. And despite its successes, there are still many challenges, particularly regional organizations' lack of resources. The Republic of Haiti is one of many that believe that - given the maturity that regional organizations have acquired over time, the configuration of the world today and the constantly evolving international situation - a new model is needed for relations between the United Nations and regional organizations in the area of the maintenance of peace.”

  5. “While commending such international solidarity, we must nevertheless recognize, as the representative of Cuba emphasized in his statement, that missions must align themselves with the priorities defined by the Haitian Government so that we will not have to go down the same road, for the same reasons, in a few years' time. It is thus Haiti's fervent wish that the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, which is currently deployed in our country, should achieve the goals it was created for. To that end, it can count on the assistance of the Haitian Government in furthering the welfare of the people of Haiti and achieving peace and security in the region.”

  6. “In that regard, I would like to thank the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, the Common Market of the South, the Union of South American Nations, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America, the Caribbean Community and the Latin American and Caribbean Economic System for their constant attention and interest in Haiti. I would like to recall that during the past 25 years, my country of Haiti has been subject to several interventions by our multilateral Organization and by regional and subregional organizations, and sometimes both together. I have in mind the joint Organization of American States/ United Nations mission to which the Secretary- General referred in his statement this morning.”

  7. “To see that, one need look no further than a number ofpeacebuilding or peacekeeping operations carried out in recent years on virtually every continent and in a large number of countries dealing with the scourge of war, conflicts of all kinds, political upheavals and civil war. My own country, the Republic of Haiti, has undergone a terrible and extreme political upheaval, making its own descent into hell, from which, fortunately, it is now emerging with the assistance of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti.”

  8. “The United Nations not only recognizes regional organizations as fully fledged actors in peaceful conflict resolution but also stipulates that the Security Council, without renouncing its monopoly to authorizing the use of force, except in the event of legitimate defence, can confer upon a regional organization the mandate for applying enforcement measures taken under its authority. The past two decades have seen a significant growth in the role of regional and subregional organizations in peacekeeping organizations, especially in Africa, Europe and the Americas. The proliferation of regional conflicts, accompanied all too often by their ensuring tragedies and atrocities, has made cooperation between the United Nations and regional institutions a mainstay of international relations.”

  9. “Mr. Casimir (Haiti) (spoke in French): On behalf of the Government of Haiti, allow me, first of all, to congratulate you, Madam President, for taking the initiative to convene this debate on such an important issue, that is, cooperation between the United Nations, regional and subregional organizations in maintaining international peace. Cooperation between the United Nation and regional organizations in maintaining peace is longstanding. The principle underpinning it is enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, specifically in Chapter VIII, Articles 53 and 54.”
