  1. “Let us now work together as equals in building the solid institutions required to have two nations, two States, on the island of Hispafiola.”

  2. “On the other side of the border there is an alternative to chopping down trees: the connection of Haiti to the Dominican electrical and natural gas distribution networks, to radically transform the Haitian energy matrix. With a sustainable peace ["pais" ??] in Haiti we would have a prosperous, developing Haiti that we all want, with equal opportunities, harmony with the environment and jobs for all Haitians. Thus our Binational Joint Commission - which resumed at the end of July last year - is eager to resume its work on the vast agenda of topics of mutual interest to our sister Republic of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. All our peoples, just today, have demonstrated their solidarity in the face of disaster. President Preval, President Santos, the Dominican Republic is ready for a prosperous Haiti.”

  3. “Ancestral practices of slash-and-burn agriculture have depleted soil fertility. The burning of forests to produce coal has left barely 2 per cent of Haitian territory with forest cover. The result has been food and nutritional insecurity, a greater risk of floods and environmental migration. Once again we call, as we did in Montreal, for all international organizations and bilateral donors cooperating with Haiti to increase the priority they give to reversing the environmental problem. The introduction of new agricultural practices and plant varieties that can renew soil fertility requires special attention. Haitians also urgently need alternative sources of energy that would eliminate, once and for all, the use of charcoal.”

  4. “Furthermore, the disbanding of the army two decades ago led to the emergence of criminal networks that have been engaging in a renewed level of activity since the earthquake. That has led to increased flows of illicit substances and illegal weapons across Haiti, as indicated by President Preval and the Secretary- General in paragraph 14 of his report (S/2011/183*). Human and financial capital has been continuously flowing out of Haiti. We are all aware that no country can develop without sufficient human and financial capital. No amount of foreign aid, even when delivered effectively and in a timely manner, can compensate for a lack of domestic capital. As we said in Montreal 14 months ago, environmental degradation continues to pose the main threat to the survival of human settlements in Haiti.”

  5. “For Haitians, harmony with their natural environment means having a non-polluting energy infrastructure, as mentioned earlier this morning, the duly remunerated and distributed use of non-renewable resources, and the preservation of forests for the enjoyment of present and future generations. Also important is job creation that enables all business entrepreneurs and workers to live in due dignity both during and after their working life. Dominican investments by Grupo M. in the border area between Ouanaminthe and Dajabon have generated over 8,000 jobs for Haitians in Haiti. That was made possible through the firm support of President Pre'val during the past five years of his Government.”

  6. “We call for a development process that ensures equal opportunities for all Haitians in Haiti, with political stability, harmony with the natural environment and the creation of decentjobs for all Haitians. Creating equal opportunities for all Haitians requires the Government to ensure their access to basic public services, such as water, education, electricity, health care and security. It also means that all Haitians living abroad will have an opportunity to return to Haiti and enjoy the same rights and obligations enjoyed by all Dominicans returning to their own country, and to contribute their knowledge and resources to the development process.”

  7. “The Dominican Republic also wishes to reiterate its appreciation for the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), which has been no less effective in fulfilling its role, despite the heavy human and financial losses it suffered in the tragic earthquake in January 2010. Less than two months ago, in February, the Dominican Republic took part in another open debate, held here and organized during the Brazilian presidency of the Security Council (see S/PV.6479), on the need to create a peacebuilding strategy based on the interdependence between security and development in all its aspects. The Dominican Republic once again calls for a sustainable peace in Haiti that is based on sustainable human development.”

  8. “Mr. Morales Troneoso (Dominican Republic) (spoke in Spanish): The Dominican Republic conveys its deep appreciation to the Government of Colombia for having organized today's meeting at this critical juncture in Haiti's history. The Dominican Republic fully supports the presidential statement that the Council has just adopted (S/PRST/2011/7). At the same time, we thank you, Sir, for your efforts to reflect the balance of views on Haiti, which poses one of the most pressing challenges to peace and security in the Americas. We welcome the report of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (S/201l/183*) and reiterate that all measures adopted must be in benefit of the Haitian people themselves.”
