  1. “In light of the foregoing, we believe that the decision or decisions to be made by the Security Council on strengthening MINUSTAH must also, as always in such cases, be taken with a sense of caution, as the information available continues to be the cause of some troubling uncertainty and prevents us from forming a clear picture of the feasibility of another year of consolidation of MINUSTAH. Finally, I wish to pay due tribute to the men and women of MINUSTAH, whose selfless work deserves our ongoing appreciation and gratitude.”

  2. “However, we are concerned that the Security Council could decide to accelerate the consolidation of MINUSTAH while uncertainty persists about the electoral process in 2014 and the necessary amendments to the electoral law, as reported by the head of MINUSTAH. We are also concerned by talk of a speedy consolidation in circumstances in which we still have a long way to go to reach the recommended minimum number of police personnel, as stated in the report of the Secretary- General.”

  3. “More specifically, my delegation believes that the assessment of conditions on the ground of a multidimensional mission like MINUSTAH must take into consideration, in addition to the humanitarian and security situation, issues that are critical to the future stability of Haiti, such as the development of the capacities of the Haitian National Police and to the electoral processes of 2014 and 2015. In this context, while recognizing and appreciating the work of the strategic assessment mission to Haiti, my delegation considers it relevant to recall the importance of maintaining the limits originally proposed and contained in the strategic plan 2013-2016, unless field data allow us to act differently.”

  4. “In this context, the decisions that are carried out around MINUSTAH with a View to its legacy should ensure the sustainability of the progress achieved, which will require a strategy of gradual, progressive and responsible withdrawal that responds to the changing conditions on the ground and not just to budgetary factors. Considerations made on the basis of information not gathered from the situation on the ground could have undesirable consequences for Haiti and the United Nations.”

  5. “Haiti's recovery constitutes a unifying element and grounds for Latin American solidarity. In that context, it is understandable that our region should contribute more than 75 per cent of MINUSTAH's military contingents. The development of Latin America in recent years, at every level, has allowed the Heads of State and Government of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States to proclaim the region of Latin America a zone of peace. In that sense, I would like to express my country's hope that we will one day be able to refer to MINUSTAH as the last peacekeeping operation that was established in the zone of peace known as Latin America. To that end, it is is essential to preserve its successful management and proper administration in the present so as to ensure the success of its final phase.”

  6. “Mr. Lasso Menzoza (Ecuador) (spoke in Spanish): I would like, at the outset, to recognize the presence of Ms. Sandra Honore, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). I would also like to express my gratitude to the Secretary- General for his report on MINUSTAH (S/2014/6l7). My country assigns the utmost priority to the situation in Haiti and has, over the years, offered all its available support to help that brother country overcome adversity, both through bilateral channels as well as multilateral ones such as MINUSTAH, for example, without mentioning the assistance that has been provided by the Union of South American Nations. The situation in Haiti is a priority for all of Latin America.”
