“The report states that the United Nations can help Haitians achieve their goals of stability and peace, and lay the foundations for sustainable social and economic development in full respect for the sovereignty of Haiti. In that context, I am pleased to announce a set of measures that my Government will take in the framework of the elections and the efforts already agreed to create a stable environment conducive to the elections. In fact, since April, the Haitian National Police, in conjunction with MINUSTAH, has been successfully carrying out a series of operations to gain control of some leaders of armed and dangerous gangs that sought to defy the State's authority. On 7 May, the police dismantled gangs that organized the kidnapping of persons in the metropolitan area and released hostages.”

“As the Council noted during its mission to Haiti and as expressed in its report, poverty and unemployment are at the root of the serious crisis confronting the country. The Interim Government's priority remains the holding of free and democratic elections at the end of 2005. However, in addition to the elections, my Government intends to lay the foundations for the socio-economic development of a modern State, a task that requires the long-term assistance of the United Nations and the international community. That is why the Interim Government endorses the recommendations of the report, which notes that Haiti is at a decisive turning point in its history.”

“I am pleased once again to welcome that initiative. On behalf of the people and the Government of Haiti, I thank the members of the Council, in particular the head of the mission, the Ambassador of Brazil, and convey the interest and the hope created among our people with respect to the awaited outcome of the mission. I take this opportunity once again to thank the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) for the very difficult work it is doing in my country. The Mission's presence is essential, and its role is particularly important in terms of creating security and in implementing a variety of development projects, which are most appreciated by my people. I humbly salute the memory of the members of the Mission who have died in carrying out their duties. They have the gratitude of the people of Haiti.”

“Mr. Merores (Haiti) (spoke in French): Allow me first, Madam, to convey my delegation's congratulations on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the current month. Allow me also to convey my delegation's congratulations to Ambassador Wang Guangya of China, under whose presidency the Security Council mission, and that of the Economic and Social Council, were conducted. Once again, the commitment to assist Haiti in its process of democratic transition has been most eloquently demonstrated. The Security Council's mission from 13 to 16 April - the first Council mission to Haiti or to Latin America - in conjunction with the mission of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti of the Economic and Social Council, attests to the United Nations family's great interest in the cause of Haiti.”
