  1. “In this respect, we are ready, as we said to President-elect Preval, to reactivate, as soon as possible, the joint bilateral Dominican-Haitian commission as a body for consultation on and discussion of all of the issues that concern our relationship. We are also ready to work together with the new Haitian Government on common issues relating to environmental protection, migration, trade regulation, business exchanges and border security.”

  2. “We would also like to propose the establishment, under the Government of President Rene Garcia Preval, of a commission made up of representatives of friendly countries, international institutions and non- governmental organizations, among others, that would cooperate with the authorities in developing and following up on projects for the economic and social reconstruction of Haiti. The primary objective of such a commission would be to ensure the disbursement of the remaining 74 per cent of the $1.085 billion collected at the donor conference in July 2004, and to establish priorities among initiatives that would have an immediate impact on job creation.”

  3. “Fourthly, we join in a call to Haiti's creditor countries to take the decisive step of forgiving its debt so as to lift that tremendous burden on the country's depleted public finances. To conclude, I heard today from the Ambassador of the Congo that Haiti is the second oldest nation in the hemisphere, dating back to 1 January 1804. Haiti has enough historic and patriotic spirit to give rise to optimism with respect to its overcoming the many calamitous difficulties afflicting the Haitian people.”

  4. “The first involves alerting the elected authorities to the need to incorporate, as they have been doing, all political movements in the effort to stabilize the country and, in the process, to restore democracy, reduce poverty and to seek the social consensus necessary to ensure dialogue and solidarity. Secondly, there is a need to view assistance to Haiti as a process that involves the leaders of every sector of society and the Haitian community as a whole, so that they can feel truly committed to the institutional, physical, political, economic and social recovery of their country. Thirdly, the Organization must maintain MINUSTAH's military forces in Haiti for as long as necessary, until a climate of public safety is restored and the Haitian authorities can effectively assume their duties.”

  5. “We have seen the formation of a group of donor countries and institutions that have made a commitment to providing Haiti with resources for institutional revitalization and to rehabilitate and build the infrastructures that are essential to revitalize the economy and guarantee basic public services for the country and for the population as a whole. We have also seen a long-term commitment to helping the Haitian people and leadership to institutionalize democracy and to lay the foundations for sustainable economic development. The work done by the military forces of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) has made it possible to control public order, enabling the Transitional Government to function and allowing the organization and holding of free elections. There are four other crucial questions.”

  6. “Rene Preval, chose our country to make his first goodwill visit abroad after his election. We reiterate once again the firm commitment of our country, the Dominican Republic, to raise in every forum to which it is invited the issue of Haiti's urgent need for solidarity on the part of the international community. We have to acknowledge the fact that the attention paid by the international community, led by the United Nations, to the strife in that nation is already starting to bear fruit. I would like also to take this opportunity to join in the expressions of congratulation and to praise the work that has been done by our great friend, Mr. Juan Gabriel Valdes, Special Representative of the Secretary-General.”

  7. “We have come to the Security Council today at the generous invitation of its President, who opted to take advantage of his successful presidency to convene this open debate on the situation in Haiti. On behalf of my country, I would like to express to you, Mr. President, my warmest congratulations for this initiative, which we applaud and commend as a welcome and timely one. Allow me to extend my country's congratulations to the President-elect of Haiti, Mr. Rene Garcia Preval, and to reiterate the commitment of our President, Mr. Leonel Fernandez Reyna, and of all of us, to contribute to the efforts that Haitian society and the international community are making to promote institutional development and economic and political stability in Haiti. We have seen as a promising sign the fact that the President-elect of Haiti, Mr.”

  8. “To achieve those lofty goals, we need what we have consistently asked for and what all previous speakers have requested: a long-term commitment on the part of the international community to provide massive, sustained and timely assistance on the part of developed nations, as clearly underscored by Minister Celso Amorim of Brazil, as well as international solidarity that is strong enough to overcome Haiti's problems. In that respect, as proposed by President Leonel Fernandez, our country is planning a ministerial summit, to be held in Santo Domingo, aimed at strengthening the joint actions of donors and those countries participating in the peace mission to Haiti.”

  9. “The overarching commitment of the international community towards Haiti must be aimed at achieving the reconciliation of the various elements of Haitian society, so that its leaders can move from confrontation to cooperation and begin the economic reconstruction of the country, in order to relieve the crushing poverty of its people - an extreme example of survival in a context of far-reaching and longstanding social injustice on a territory experiencing an advanced degree of erosion and desertification.”

  10. “The main guidelines of our initiative are to directly or indirectly contact and persuade the leaders of the various sectors of Haitian society to reconcile their differences, to promote reciprocal respect, and to coordinate activities that will sow the seeds for the future and that will serve as an example to promote national unity and integrity. The Dominican Government is convinced that this type of institutional initiative - at both the public and private levels - will motivate and convince those Haitian leaders who have the capacity to influence others and help them change the opinions of those who are currently acting in an isolated and bellicose manner.”

  11. “Our foreign policy has consistently expressed its solidarity with Haiti and called for generous international assistance to help its people, crushed as they are by poverty and requiring all types of humanitarian assistance on an emergency basis. In keeping with that position, our Government has taken action at the national and international levels aimed at preventing the gradual fragmentation of Haitian society, in hopes of promoting and strengthening tolerance and solidarity among the main actors in public life in that country.”

  12. “We must make every effort to restore the rule of law and to develop and strengthen institutions and electoral processes - as was so rightly pointed out this morning, particularly by the Acting Secretary General of the Organization of American States - and we also have to create the foundations for good governance and improve the general standard of living. We have come here, Sir, in response to your kind invitation in order clearly to express our solidarity with the other nations of Latin American and Caribbean and with the efforts of the Security Council, which, even as we speak, are together firmly committing themselves to cooperate with efforts to stabilize Haiti in order to guarantee the restoration and preservation of its institutions.”

  13. “As a result, the Dominican people are not indifferent to the poverty and despair or to the recurring episodes of violence that have so deeply affected the well-being of the people of Haiti and threatened the viability of the Haitian State. We are convinced that it is urgent - and I emphasize "urgent" - that we adopt effective measures to arrest the accelerated process of disintegration that seems to afflict Haitian society. In Haiti, which is characterized by a context of extreme and generalized poverty and an atmosphere of violence and intransigence, the Government has been unable to cope with the most urgent problems facing the population or - as aptly noted earlier by Mr. Juan Gabriel Valdes - to deal with the dysfunctions in the legal system, Parliament and the security forces. We must help our sister republic of Haiti.”

  14. “Mr. Morales Troncoso (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): First of all, I should like to congratulate you, Sir, on your presiding over the Council this month, and I should like also to thank your country for the welcome initiative to convene this special meeting on a topic of such great importance to our region. Today I have the honour of addressing the Security Council to convey my Government's position on the situation in Haiti - a nation with which my country, the Dominican Republic, shares the territory of the island of Hispaniola. The historical, geographic, political and social relationship between the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti is a source of mandatory solidarity between our peoples.”
