1. “I am thinking in particular of the amnesty bill and the law concerning the separation of the army and the police. The adoption of these texts was a part of the Governors Island Agreements, which were and remain the basis of France's policy towards Haiti. In a few weeks, perhaps - or even, we hope, in a few days - the legitimately elected President will return to his country and to his people. France which, together with the other Friends of Haiti meeting at the United Nations with the Secretary-General, has constantly been making efforts to permit legality to be restored to that country, is gratified with this result.”

2. “After three long years of usurpation of power by the military, during which the principles of democracy were flouted, human rights were violated, the economy was devastated and the agreements signed never respected, the people of Haiti can finally hope to resume their journey towards democracy and development. A date has been fixed for the departure of the military. It must be respected, and the presence of several thousand troops and police is a guarantee that it will be. In the streets, fear has started to recede; in the parliament, political life has resumed since the Haitian deputies were finally able to meet yesterday at an inaugural meeting, and it should now begin to discuss the legislative texts needed to pursue the process of democratization in the country.”

3. “Mr. Juppe (France) (interpretation from French): I should like to thank the Secretary of State of the United States for the very precise account he has given us of the deployment of the multinational force that was authorized under Security Council resolution 940 (1994). As the Council is aware, France voted unhesitatingly for that resolution because we were aware that only a radical solution could make it possible to get this crisis off dead centre. My country welcomes the peaceful circumstances under which this operation is taking place, and we would like to pay a tribute to those who are conducting it, as well as to the troops who are participating in it. Today, therefore, we can contemplate with some hope the situation in Haiti.”
