  2. Japan calls upon all Haitian stakeholders to join the process and promote dialogue in order to restore law and order and find a path for restoring democratic institutions through free, fair and transparent elections. We reaffirm the growing importance of the good offices of the United Nations, including the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti, and expect it to make further efforts to encourage constructive dialogue. In conclusion, Japan reiterates its commitment to continuing to support Haiti’s efforts to overcome its unprecedented challenges. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Haiti.

  3. In particular, efforts should centre around building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions to deliver basic services. Over the years, Japan has invested in people and institutions in Haiti in order to enhance its self-reliance, including its long-term support for the build-up of medical facilities since the devastating earthquake in 2010. However, all such efforts need to be underpinned by political unity in the country. Japan supports the efforts of the Haitian Government to forge an inclusive agreement among all political and civil sectors in Haiti, in particular the signing of the 21 December 2022 agreement. We expect that endeavour to make further progress towards achieving a broader consensus.

  4. For its part, Japan has contributed to the United Nations basket fund, which has been spearheaded by Canada and the United States in support of the HNP. Japan is also gravely concerned about the rapid spread of cholera over the past few months, which has affected vulnerable people, especially children. To help address the crisis, Japan decided earlier this month to extend emergency grant aid of $3 million through international humanitarian organizations. It is also imperative to enhance Haiti’s socioeconomic resilience in order to achieve immediate and mid- to long-term stability in the country and its communities. It is critical to ensure human security by protecting and empowering populations, including women, young people and people in vulnerable situations.

  5. Therefore, the restoration of a minimum level of order is a top priority. In that context, we express support for the sanctions introduced by resolution 2653 (2022) as a means to help to bring security and stability to Haiti, and we encourage the Panel of Experts to visit the country as soon as possible. We also take note of the Secretary-General’s call for the deployment of an international specialized armed force (see S/2023/41), and we are ready to engage in the Council’s discussions to find a way to support relevant initiatives. The primary responsibility to restore and maintain security, however, rests with the Haitian authorities. The Haitian National Police (HNP) must be further empowered and equipped to carry out its duties with the support of the international community.

  6. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Japan. I thank Special Representative of the Secretary- General La Lime for her briefing and efforts in Haiti, and I also welcome the participation in today’s meeting of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic and the Permanent Representatives of Haiti and Canada. Haiti faces increasing insecurity and humanitarian turmoil and an economic downturn. The Security Council and the international community must renew their solidarity with the people of Haiti. We also need to increase support for their efforts to overcome the multifaceted crisis, restore the rule of law and achieve long-term stability. Japan is particularly concerned about the widespread gang violence and criminal activities, which have also exacerbated humanitarian and economic difficulties.
