  1. “There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda. The meeting rose at 1.10 p.m.”

  3. “In conclusion, the United Kingdom believes, of course, that conditions on the ground will determine when MINUSTAH draws down. However, in order that security and stability can be sustained when MINUSTAH does draw down, it needs to begin planning for that drawdown now. Only by doing that can the right balance be struck between the Haitian National Police taking up the security burden and a measured drawdown of MINUSTAH that does not jeopardize security gains. I now resume my functions as president of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Haiti.”

  4. “This is not a task solely for MINUSTAH, but there needs to be clarity among all those involved, in the Mission and beyond, as to what capacity the Haitian National Police needs to build and what the benchmarks and timetable will be for achieving it. Secondly, there needs to be greater effort to support the political process, including elections, democratic governance and related State institutions. Political uncertainty is the most likely trigger of instability. Again, MINUSTAH cannot be expected to do this alone, and needs to coordinate its efforts with those of other actors. All actors need to play their part, working in a cooperative and constructive manner, respecting the Constitution and helping to ensure political stability.”

  5. “In its efforts following the earthquake in 2010, MINUSTAH has played a significant role in recovery and in helping to ensure access to basic services. These efforts have built support among the local population - support that has been reinforced by the quick-impact projects that the Mission has delivered. But the United Kingdom believes that it is now vital that the Mission focus on working to ensure that stability and security can be sustained once MINUSTAH has departed. To that end, the Mission has two clear tasks. First, MINUSTAH must build the capacity of the Haitian National Police so that it can take full responsibility for Haiti's security. There needs to be a clearer matching of Mission personnel to the various aspects of this task.”

  6. “On the other hand, Haitians from all levels of society are becoming increasingly vocal in their calls for MINUSTAH to leave. There is a very real risk that, if political uncertainty in Haiti persists, MINUSTAH will be dragged into the debate, making its task harder still. In part, these calls are being exacerbated by allegations of misconduct by MINUSTAH personnel. The United Kingdom is concerned by such allegations, which should be taken extremely seriously. We firmly support the Secretary-General's zero tolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse, and we urge a rigorous and transparent approach to these allegations. This would help MINUSTAH to restore its credibility with the people of Haiti.”

  7. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Kingdom. Haiti has seen repeated efforts of the international community that have attempted and failed to provide stability in the medium to long terms. The United Kingdom does not want this pattern to continue. It is in no one's interest that the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) should leave before the security that it has established can be sustained by the Haitian authorities. The United Kingdom notes that MINUSTAH finds itself in an increasingly difficult position, however. On the one hand, Haiti is heavily dependent on the Mission to provide security. On the basis of current trends, that will remain the case for some years.”
