  48. To support the holding of those elections, my country recently delivered to Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council electoral material for organizing and developing the elections - ballot boxes, booths and office furniture - which will be distributed at the voting centres established in the 17 regional departments. Mexico believes that a priority task for MINUSTAH is to train the Haitian National Police. That is a crucial factor if we are to foster an atmosphere of security for the country's population and guarantee stability throughout the national territory. That is why Mexico welcomes the fact that such training is in keeping with the objectives set by the Mission. Likewise, my country is pleased to have been able to contribute to the strengthening of the Haitian Police through anti-kidnapping training programmes.

  49. Mexico welcomes the progress made in Haiti in such areas as the political-electoral sphere, institutional strengthening, security, the rule of law and human rights. Nevertheless, we acknowledge that that progress is still fragile and that its sustainability depends largely on progress regarding the socio- economic situation of the Haitian people. Like other delegations, we urge the Government and the society of Haiti to make every effort to ensure that the forthcoming electoral process to fill vacant Senate seats, to be carried out on 19 April, will be a democratic, participatory and inclusive exercise. The assistance of MINUSTAH will be decisive in attaining that objective.

  50. Given the unfavourable global environment, they are crisis situations to which we must become accustomed. Mexico welcomes the international community's increasing attention to the situation in Haiti. That was demonstrated by the recent visits of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Security Council mission to renew the Organization's commitment to and support for the stability of the country. We are grateful for the support received on that occasion from Haitian authorities and institutions and from Haitian society in general. We hope that this debate will truly help to promote greater interest and commitment on the part of the international community at the Washington donor conference to be held on 14 April, which will be a crucial event for the country's future.
