“We commend the efforts to fully implement its strategic development plan, particularly the goal of increasing the ratio of the number of police officers to the population, as well as the percentage of women in the police force, and we support the Secretary-General's call to international partners to increase their support for the Government of Haiti's efforts in this area. We agree with the Secretary-General's assessment that further measures are needed to protect and promote women's rights. For example, the role of the Victims' Rights Advocate should be transferred from MINUSTAH to MINUJUSTH in order to address the problem of sexual exploitation and abuse. Sexual violence in peacekeeping operations is a major concern for the United Nations.”

“We were pleased to see in the report of the Secretary-General that the planning for the establishment of the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH) is well advanced, in line with the parameters set out in resolution 2350 (2017). We commend the smooth transition of tasks from MINUSTAH to MINUJUSTH, the Haitian authorities, the country team and other partners, which required close consultations between the Mission's management team and the local authorities. We would like to emphasize that among MINUJUSTH's many tasks, developing the police force is very important. Although the capacities of the Haitian National Police have improved, that relatively young institution is still facing considerable challenges.”

“The past 13 years have been a unique and unprecedented experience for Brazil, which has served as commander of MINUSTAH's troops and deployed more than 37,000 soldiers to help the Haitian authorities ensure a stable and secure environment for its inhabitants and rebuild the country following various natural disasters. Brazil's commitment throughout the Mission's mandate was affirmed once again by our troops' decision to temporarily reactivate their operations to support Haitians when Hurricane Irma passed through. Brazil will continue to support a peacekeeping doctrine that truly contributes to the sustaining peace. We are in favour of integrated mandate approaches that promote stabilization, dialogue, reconciliation, development and human rights.”

“Its positive efforts include its coordination between civilian and military personnel on the ground, its community outreach strategies aimed at building trust, and the remarkable role played by women in all areas of the stabilization process. We would also like to emphasize the importance of tools such as the community-violence reduction programme and the quick-impact projects that have played an important role in supporting the primary objective of stabilization and have been crucial in strengthening the rule of law in Haiti. As highlighted in the Secretary-General's report (S/2017/840), the Mission has implemented 1,788 such quick-impact projects covering areas as wide-ranging as human rights, the rule of law, good governance, the protection of the environment and the supply of drinking water.”

“Mr. Giacomelli da Silva (Brazil) (spoke in French): I thank France for convening today's debate. I commend the Special Representative of the Secretary- General, Ms. Sandra Honore, for her detailed briefing and reiterate my Government's appreciation for her leadership. I also thank the Permanent Representative of Haiti, Mr. Denis Regis, for his statement. I would like to begin by acknowledging the efforts of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) to support that country's political process over the past 13 years. MINUSTAH has demonstrated the potential that innovative approaches offer and that could serve as a model for future peacekeeping operations elsewhere in the world.”
