  1. “We welcome the relations that have been established with the Caribbean Community as we work together to help Haitian stakeholders seek Haitian solutions. The Organization of la Francophonie remains committed to an inter-Haitian political dialogue, supported by the international community, and we stand ready to play our role in mobilizing partners in that regard.”

  2. “The International Organization of la Francophonie fully supports the options and initiatives of its partners in that regard, as well as the current initiative in the Council to impose sanctions on gang leaders and their backers. We are committed to ongoing advocacy to ensure that combating that gangs is prioritized even above the organization of elections. In her communiqué dated 6 October our Secretary- General condemns the continuing looting and violence in Haiti. She requests that national and international efforts be taken to respond to the humanitarian emergency and urges the national authorities and all national stakeholders to create conditions that can enable the delivery of the basic goods and fuel that are needed to ensure the proper functioning of health services and the availability of drinking water.”

  3. “Haiti also needs support through assistance in resuming agricultural production and manufacturing in order to significantly reduce unemployment among young people. On the political front, the failure of the recent civil-society initiative to sign a political agreement between the Prime Minister and opposition groups demonstrates the challenge of organizing a constructive and home-grown national dialogue. The continuing political impasse creates a climate of defiance towards the political and economic elites. What is urgent for Haiti right now is a restoration of security and a response to the humanitarian crisis. The situation poses a serious and genuine threat to stability and security in every other country of the Caribbean, the Americas and beyond.”

  4. “They have overpowered the State and its ability to conduct its sovereign functions in the area of domestic security. Insecurity and poverty feed into each other, and the worsening poverty provides numerous opportunities for violent organized-crime networks that are increasingly recruiting young people in a vicious circle that urgently needs to be broken. Furthermore, national production has been at a standstill for several years. Haiti produces only 13.6 per cent of its consumption of rice, its main food staple. The erosion of the country’s economic viability and political legitimacy has prevented the State from taking effective action to combat the proliferation and use of small arms and light weapons in the country, particularly by non-State actors.”

  5. “Together with UN-Women, we launched an initiative aimed at building women candidates’ capacity for political leadership roles. In partnership with UNESCO, young Haitians working in the media have been trained in the fundamentals of journalism and fact-checking, as well as in the techniques of professional election coverage. The situation in Haiti is out of control. The security crisis has become an entrenched political crisis and now a humanitarian one. The human security situation continues to deteriorate on the food security, environmental, health and physical safety fronts, and has been compounded by armed gang violence. The threats to security come from internal actors who are well known throughout the country. The gangs stoke violence and organize kidnappings.”

  6. “Our Secretary-General regularly brings together representatives of its member States and Governments to discuss the situation in Haiti. She has sent two missions to identify ways and means to achieve a peaceful and consensus-based solution to the country’s challenges. In the past few months she has engaged in consultations with various bilateral and multilateral partners with a view to promoting concerted efforts to resolve the issue of an inter-Haitian dialogue. On the technical front, the Organization of la Francophonie has continued to develop cooperation programmes in support of Haiti’s education system, political stability, consolidation of democracy and capacity-building for national institutions in areas such as elections and the rule of law, among others.”

  7. “On behalf of the Secretary-General of the International Organization of la Francophonie, Ms. Louise Mushikiwabo, I would like to thank the Security Council and you, Mr. President, for inviting our organization to today’s meeting on the situation in Haiti.
