  1. “Fourthly, at this critical time, the active support and expertise of the United Nations across these areas is essential. We strongly urge the Council to renew the mandate of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) for the next 12 months. Given the severity and deterioration of the situation in Haiti, we urge the Council to ensure that BINUH is adequately equipped, in terms of personnel and resources, to engage with Haitian stakeholders and to effectively assist Haiti through this crisis. Haiti is experiencing a complex, multidimensional and extremely serious crisis — one that continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate. The significant impact it is having on the young people of Haiti, in particular, is compromising the country’s future.”

  2. “We need to urgently address the immediate humanitarian needs of Haitians, as set out in the 2023 humanitarian response plan — less than 23 per cent of which is funded. At the same time, we must invest in Haiti’s sustainable development in order to strengthen its resilience, including the resilience of its food systems. Thirdly, the 21 December political accord and the establishment of the High Transitional Council are steps to build a national consensus for an inclusive transition and transparent elections. We continue to encourage intensified efforts among Haitian stakeholders to ensure a broad and inclusive national political dialogue that includes women and youth in order to chart a way forward to re-establish democracy and accelerate the country’s sustainable development.”

  3. “Secondly, adopting a comprehensive approach that includes urgent measures regarding security, humanitarian aid and development is critical for Haiti. Immediate actions to assist Haiti in restoring security must be accompanied by efforts to address the root causes of violence in the country — extreme poverty, corruption, impunity and collusion between the political and economic spheres. We heard from Haitian youth who described their daily struggle to eat. A 17-year-old living in Cité Soleil told us that it is easier to get a gun than it is to find a meal. Humanitarian needs have doubled in the past year. Despite its considerable agricultural potential and the fact that, until recently, it was able to produce most of the rice it consumed, Haiti is now among the countries with the highest levels of food insecurity.”

  4. “First, the international community must move, without further delay, to support Haiti in restoring security. Haitians require security to safely leave their homes without fear of being killed, kidnapped or raped; to enable children to safely get to school; to ensure that the most vulnerable can access essential services; to allow businesses to resume commerce; and to create the space for free and fair elections. That requires curbing the flow of arms and ammunition; strengthening the Haitian National Police, the justice system and the rule of law; protecting human rights; addressing sexual and gender-based violence; working at the community level to reduce violence; and putting direct pressure, through the implementation of sanctions, on those who foment violence and instability.”

  5. “I am honoured to speak on behalf of the Economic and Social Council’s Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti. The Advisory Group is composed of 22 member States committed to accompanying Haiti’s long-term socioeconomic development. We are friends, neighbours and partners of Haiti. Over the past year, our Group has expanded to include Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Kenya, Saint Kitts and Nevis and my own country, Barbados. We hope to welcome Jamaica to the Group very soon. On behalf of the Advisory Group, I wish to express my appreciation to today’s briefers and to acknowledge the participation of the Prime Minister of Jamaica and the Ministers for Foreign Affairs of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. On behalf of the Group, I wish to underscore four points.”

  6. “CARICOM sincerely believes that peace and security are prerequisites for achieving prosperity and sustainable development. The full implementation of the women and peace and security agenda deserves greater attention from the international community and we remain committed to being a part of the process.”

  7. “A united, coordinated and well-defined framework is required as we work collectively to achieve the global objectives established in the Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination against Women, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the women and peace and security agenda and Sustainable Development Goal 5. For that reason, we encourage increased communication and collaboration among international and regional partners, the private sector and women’s civil society to close the gaps in promoting women’s economic inclusion and participation in conflict- affected settings. In that respect, we must consistently promote and protect women’s rights and gender equality through political advocacy, partnership and strategic planning at all levels.”

  8. “The psychosocial impact of gender-based violence prevents the meaningful participation of women and girls in education and economic activity. Perpetrators of conflict-related and sexual and gender-based violence must be held accountable. Moreover, victims and survivors must be provided with psychosocial and financial support to ensure their recovery and promote their resilience. It is our firm belief that women’s full, equal and meaningful participation in peacebuilding, conflict response and prevention can be facilitated through effective multilateralism. With growing levels of hostilities against women, including political violence, it is important that we actively endeavour to push for women’s participation in all peacebuilding and peacekeeping efforts.”

  9. “In the Caribbean, women are at the vanguard of addressing ecological, environmental, climate, health and economic insecurity. We are at an inflection point as we witness the erosion of gender-equality gains, particularly in countries that are navigating conflict and climate, ecological and socioeconomic crises. It is more critical than ever to enshrine the principles of the women and peace and security agenda and gender equality, as well as to ensure women’s full, equal and meaningful participation in all aspects of development, including economic recovery in conflict settings. We must amplify our efforts to address the disproportionate impact of intersecting crises on women and girls in conflict settings. CARICOM strongly condemns all acts of gender-based violence.”

  10. “We welcome the critical focus on economic justice for women in conflict settings, as we commemorate International Women’s Day on the theme “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow”. The existing challenges in the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda are most acutely observed in the lack of attention to economic justice for women. Efforts to promote and achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women, including through economic justice, must be central to peacekeeping and peacebuilding actions across all conflict-affected countries and regions. We have seen the transformative power of women in shaping their societies. Every generation can point to the critical role of women working at the front lines in confronting multiple crises.”

  11. “As we celebrate International Women’s Day, I have the honour to deliver today’s statement on behalf of the 14 member States of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). We thank the United Arab Emirates for convening this meeting, which focuses squarely on women’s economic inclusion and the advancement of their full, equal and meaningful participation in conflict prevention, peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction. We would also like to thank the briefers for their thoughtful interventions. As a region with a long history of activism for gender equality led by women, the Caribbean Community wishes to reaffirm its support for an integrated and holistic approach to the implementation of all four pillars of resolution 1325 (2000) and all subsequent women and peace and security resolutions.”
