1. “Let us collectively determine again to come to the support of the valiant though long-suffering people of Haiti in their hour of need and to meet their urgent requirements at this critical time. The people of Haiti need help. We are here seeking that help.”

2. “In the light of the growing surge of refugees to neighbouring States, it is also imperative that the States affected be provided with the requisite resources to offset costs for the provision of relief and humanitarian assistance to the refugees. It is a cruel twist of fate that the first free black republic in this hemisphere has had such a long and difficult history of struggle to protect that very freedom. It is even a more cruel irony that, in this, the bicentenary of the commemoration of the historic event that marked the end of their struggle and the beginning of a new era of freedom, the people of Haiti are today vastly removed from the goals they valiantly fought to achieve - political freedom, economic prosperity and social stability.”

3. “I wish to advise the Council that some members of CARICOM. have already indicated a willingness to contribute to such a force within their individual capacities. All members of the international community should do their part. I should stress, Sir, that CARICOM's stand on this issue is not driven by any desire to promote the political interests of any particular personality in the Haitian political arena. It is based on the need to remain faithful to democratic principles and the integrity of a constitutional order. CARICOM. also calls upon the Security Council to endorse urgent action by the international community to address the growing humanitarian crisis and the need to extend assistance, including through the delivery of international aid through the smooth transition to long-term economic and social reconstruction.”

4. “The situation is one of utmost urgency and the need for decisive action is paramount. The immediate need is for the Security Council to authorize the urgent deployment of a multinational force to assist in the restoration of law and order, to facilitate a return to stability and to create an environment in which the continuing efforts to find a solution to the political crisis can be pursued. Such international support would be important in preparing the ground for parliamentary elections and for a presidential election when due. A solution is vital for Haiti's short- and long-term future, which is so seriously endangered by the escalating insurgency and the prospect of a bloody civil war. The Council should authorize the creation of a force to do this and encourage participation by those States with the available resources.”

5. “The United Nations past active involvement in Haiti highlights an historical recognition of its responsibility to assist in finding a solution to what has been an intractable situation for too long. The United Nations role has had a significant impact on past attempts that have been deemed relatively successful in stemming the downward spiral and in bringing the parties to the negotiating table. There is no doubt that the volatile situation in Haiti today and the potential for further chaos is not only a threat to the peace and security of the region but also, necessarily, of great concern to the international community. It is against this background that CARICOM member States seek the direct and immediate intervention of the United Nations in Haiti within the context of the United Nations Charter.”

6. “Specifically, and given the likelihood of the rebel forces reaching the capital, CARICOM. has been requested to garner support in the strengthening of the Haitian National Police, with the possibility of their participation in a multinational force in Haiti. While CARICOM. will continue to play its role in seeking a political solution to the crisis in Haiti, we believe the United Nations has a special responsibility in assisting Haiti, given its record of involvement in previous peacekeeping missions. The restoration of peace and stability should be considered as part of its unfinished business. In this context, we welcome the appointment by the Secretary-General of a special advisor to coordinate and promote greater United Nations engagement in dealing with the current crisis.”

7. “The situation we now face is completely different from that which began as a political impasse over the exercise of rights and the role of opposition groups. The more recent incursions by heavily armed rebel forces from the north have resulted in reprisal killings, the destruction of property and general lawlessness, creating a state of anarchy in much of the country. As Prime Minister Patterson indicated in a letter to Secretary-General Kofi Annan last week, immediate action is needed to safeguard democracy and to avert bloodshed and a humanitarian disaster. In response to the rapidly deteriorating political situation in Haiti, the Government of President Aristide has requested the international community to assist in the restoration of security, order and the rule of law within his country.”

8. “Emanating from a subsequent meeting in Washington, with the participation of the United States Secretary of State, the Foreign Minister of Canada, the Secretary-General of the OAS and the permanent observer of France to the OAS, a plan of action was drawn up to facilitate the implementation of the CARICOM. Prior Action Plan. The plan was accepted by President Aristide but has been rejected by the opposition. Members of the Council will well appreciate that it is impossible to make meaningful progress unless both sides are willing to do their part. The fact is that there are some steps that the President cannot take alone, as they require participation by the opposition and other stakeholders.”

9. “Prior Action Plan, which President Aristide accepted. It involved certain measures to improve the security climate and to generally build confidence. These included compliance with previous OAS resolutions, negotiation of rules for demonstrations, the release of detainees, disarmament of strong-arm groups, the strengthening of the police force and the enjoyment of fundamental freedoms. The Plan also envisaged the establishment of an electoral commission, the formation of a council of eminent persons and the appointment of a neutral and independent prime minister. It further called for the formation of a new Government through a process of consultations between the Prime Minister, the President and the council.”

10. “The most recent CARICOM. efforts, initiated in early January this year, have included fact-finding missions to Haiti and meetings with the President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and with the opposition. CARICOM's initiative outlining proposals for moving the process forward was presented at a meeting held with the major political stakeholders in Nassau, the Bahamas, from 20 to 21 January. The opposition undertook to discuss the document internally. At CARICOM's invitation, observers from the United States, Canada and the OAS participated in the Nassau meeting. On 31 January, Prime Minister Patterson of Jamaica, in his capacity as chairman of CARICOM, hosted a meeting with President Aristide in Kingston. We were again joined by our international partners, including, this time, the European Union. This meeting produced the CARICOM.”

11. “We have maintained that adherence to the following principles is critical: first, the full application of democracy in Haiti; secondly, non-acceptance of a coup d'etat in any form; and thirdly, that any change in Haiti must be in accordance with the Haiti's constitution. The situation in Haiti is a serious regional concern. It is important to note that, in keeping with Chapter VIII of the Charter, regional organizations are often the first recourse in addressing threats to peace and security. Following the coup d'etat against President Aristide in 1991, CARICOM, as the directly relevant sub-regional organization, participated fully in the ongoing efforts of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the United Nations to restore peace and stability in Haiti, including through the provision of civilian and military assistance.”

12. “The past 20 months have been particularly challenging, without much progress towards ending polarization or building a political consensus. The result is that the country is now locked in a political stalemate as a result of the steadfast refusal of the opposition to engage in the process of dialogue mandated by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) action plan. Given Haiti's status as its newest member, CARICOM. has been concerned with the developments in that country and has sought to provide its good offices on numerous occasions to bring a lasting resolution to the crisis.”

13. “They have already managed to seize every city in the northern part of the country and it is now our understanding that they will seek to advance even further, with the intention of marching on the capital, Port-au-Prince. The already weakened and outnumbered Haitian National Police have been forced to abandon their posts or protectively barricade themselves against the mounting attacks of the rebel groups. In the latest flare-up of violence, some 70 persons have so far been killed. The prevailing situation within Haiti can no longer be viewed as an internal matter. The current situation now poses a serious threat to regional peace and security, given the outflow of refugees, which threatens to overwhelm the resources of States in the region.”

14. “My delegation has come before the Security Council, on behalf of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), to call the urgent attention of the international community to the rapidly deteriorating situation in Haiti. The situation has now reached crisis proportions, given the continuing breakdown in law and order, the rising insurgency and the conditions of sheer anarchy and chaos, as well as a worsening humanitarian crisis, which in turn has caused displacement of the population, resulting in increasing numbers of refugees pouring out of the country. As the members of the Council are aware, during the past weeks the political upheaval in Haiti has escalated, with heavily armed groups using force to extend control over parts of the country.”

Your diplomatic skills and gracious style have obviously ensured the smooth and effective handling of the various matters which have come before the Council. I had the pleasure of visiting your great country just over a week ago, and I was impressed by its progress and its economic development, as well as by its strong support for multilateralism and the international system. I wish to thank you and the Council for acting promptly on my request to convene this meeting, and I am pleased to see the Secretary-General, who I know has a keen interest in this matter.”

"The Security Council expresses its appreciation to Madiba and the South African Government for initiating the deployment of the first elements of the multinational security presence tasked with the protection of returning political leaders, without which the conditions would not have been conducive to the inauguration of the Burundi transitional Government.

22. “The influx of refugees into neighbouring countries and their dismal conditions in refugee camps also require our immediate attention. We support the opening of borders in neighbouring countries for the provision of assistance to those countries to enable them to deal with this crisis. Special attention must be paid to the situation of Afghan women and girls, who have been denied access to health, education and basic civil rights. We agree with Ambassador Brahimi that the transition process must involve the participation of individuals and groups, including women, who have previously been excluded.

The fight for territory must be replaced by the promotion of stability and an effort to accurately and clearly reflect the will of the Afghan people in any new political arrangement. Jamaica remains committed to the search for a lasting and comprehensive solution to the crisis in the territory. We support the creation of a broad-based, representative government for a democratic and stable leadership of Afghanistan.
