  1. “We are all aware that the Government and people of Haiti bear the principal responsibility for the political, economic, social and institutional reconstruction of the country, but we also know that, if long-term peace and stability are to be attained, it is indispensable that the international community make a sustained commitment to cooperation. That is why we are present here today. Once again, I reiterate Venezuela's political will to continue to lend all its support to this cause, in keeping with the wishes of the people of Haiti themselves.”

  2. “In this regard, we welcome this last extension of the Support Mission, since an abrupt withdrawal of forces would not have been the most advisable move, and we must give it the opportunity to conclude the operation in the best possible way. I cannot let this opportunity pass without mentioning the work also being done by the International Civilian Mission in Haiti, which the General Assembly will again consider tomorrow. Its consolidation will allow for the long-term success of the educational institution-building process in Haiti. We have great faith in the joint work of the United Nations and the Organization of American States in that connection.”

  3. “The Mission dealt with one of its most difficult challenges last year, when the peaceful transfer of power from one democratically elected President to another took place. Since then a year and a half has passed, and, as we have seen, the process has not come to halt. Gradual progress has been evident, and successful steps continue to be taken, although, naturally, not without certain problems and missteps. The reduction in the number of military personnel shows that the Mission has had positive results, and it is to be hoped that Haiti will set itself firmly and definitively on the road to reconstruction and development, in accordance with the hopes and desires of the Haitian people.”

  4. “Mr. De Rojas (Venezuela) (interpretation from Spanish): Allow me at the outset to congratulate you, Sir, on your presidency of the Security Council this month. Venezuela is pleased to be a sponsor of the draft resolution submitted to the Council, which we hope will be adopted in a few moments. As the Council knows, we are linked to Haiti by two centuries of historical and geographical ties, which has led us to take an active part in the process of stabilization and democratic consolidation in that country. Venezuela praises the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) for the considerable progress it achieved in fulfilment of its mandate to assist the Government of Haiti in maintaining a secure and stable environment.”

  5. “We also note the great importance of the letter from the Government of Guatemala, to which reference has been made here, and which is contained in document S/ 1997/23. For all of these reasons we hope that the draft resolution will be given the full support that it deserves from all the members of this Council. In conclusion we would like, through you, Mr. President, to convey to the representatives of our sister Republic of Guatemala, our feelings of fraternal solidarity and steadfast support at this very important moment in its history. We assure them that we will continue to be with them at this time, and at all times in the future.”

  6. “We are convinced that this is the best way of achieving a firm and lasting peace in accordance with the agreements signed in Guatemala City on 29 December 1996 by the representatives of the Government of Guatemala and the Unidad Revolucionaria Nacional Guatemalteca (URNG), in which both parties request the dispatch of a military mission by the United Nations in order to verify the implementation of the ceasefire agreements that were achieved during the process. In this respect, Venezuela believes that it is the responsibility of the international community to give all the support that is necessary for the full implementation of the agreements, so that the Guatemalan people can begin to travel down the road to lasting peace and stable democracy, for the benefit of all the citizens of Guatemala and of our Latin American region.”

  7. “Venezuela is a member of the Group of Friends of the Guatemala Peace Process, as well as a contributor to MINUGUA, and as such, as members are aware, is, together with the other members of the Group of Friends, a sponsor of the draft resolution. We support the deployment of a small United Nations military component, attached to MINUGUA, as requested by the Secretary-General in his report.”

  8. “Mr. De Rojas (Venezuela) (interpretation from Spanish): First, I should like to associate Venezuela with the congratulations extended to you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Council for the month of January. We wish you every success in the discharge of this very important responsibility. Venezuela asked to address the Council on this occasion in order to express complete support for the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Mission for the Verification of Human Rights and of Compliance with the Commitments of the Comprehensive Agreement on Human Rights in Guatemala (MINUGUA), as contained in document S/ 1996/ 1045 and addenda l and 2, as well as for the draft resolution before the Security Council, contained in document S/ 1997/ 18.”
