  1. “We therefore urge the Security Council to renew the mandate of MINUSTAH for a period of no less than 12 months in order to guarantee its continuity throughout the electoral process and the subsequent transfer of power to the new authorities. Let us not ignore Haiti yet again. It will depend on us, to a large extent, whether its long-suffering people regain their hope for a better future and for a life of dignity, free from fear and want.”

  2. “Their purpose was to familiarize themselves with the situation in the country and to assess the performance of the Chilean troops there, as well as to identify areas for bilateral cooperation. That is consistent with the national character of the task that my country bas undertaken in Haiti. That is why President Ricardo Lagos is personally committed to ensuring that our National Congress extends the stay of the Chilean forces in that Caribbean country. Today, in reaffirming our commitment to Haiti and its people, we would like to reiterate that, if we want to ensure the United Nations mission does not fail, as it has done in the past, it must be carried out with a view to the long term.”

  3. “In that connection, we also welcome the fact that MINUSTAH is undertaking many quick-impact projects in areas such as education, health, agriculture, combating HIV/AIDS, infrastructure and the promotion of human rights. Those actions will not only directly benefit the Haitian population, but will also improve the image that Haitians have of the United Nations. We therefore urge Member States once again to provide the Mission with the resources that it needs if it is to succeed in its tasks. Shortly after the conclusion of the joint mission of the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council, a delegation from the Foreign Relations and Defence Committees of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies of Chile visited Haiti.”

  4. “That is precisely why we welcome the fact that the Security Council mission took place in conjunction with that of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group of the Economic and Social Council. That will make possible an integrated approach to Haiti's problems. Reaffirming our commitment to the Ad Hoc Advisory Group, we endorse the conclusions and recommendations resulting from that mission to Haiti, presented by the Ambassador of Canada, in particular the poverty-reduction strategy, which must include measures for the creation of jobs, reforestation, the protection of the environment, the rehabilitation of infrastructure and the improvement in the quality of public services in the areas of health and education.”

  5. “It is therefore essential that Haiti receive, as soon as possible, the resources pledged at the donors conference that took place in Washington one year ago. Such resources will enable Haiti to address the urgent social needs of its people and to launch medium- and long-term programmes for reconstruction. There can be no doubt that the United Nations presence in Haiti should be viewed as a fourth- generation peacekeeping operation whose goals are not limited merely to the suppression of violence. Our collective task will be crowned with success when we make progress towards eradicating the causes of political instability and violence and when Haiti can stand on its own feet.”

  6. “Those elections are due to be held in a few months' time, and while their success will not in and of itself resolve all of Haiti's problems, a smooth and legitimate electoral process is a necessary condition for progress towards the strengthening of democracy and ensuring the full restoration of the rule of law. Chile has thus consistently stressed the urgent need for a broad national dialogue involving all stakeholders in Haitian society that renounce the use of violence. We note with satisfaction that such a dialogue has been initiated by the Haitian authorities - but that initiative must be supported by efforts to promote the participation of all stakeholders and must extend beyond the elections. No one today can deny that security and development are inseparable and mutually reinforcing requirements.”

  7. “This will require the strengthening of democratic institutions, the reform of the judiciary and the prison system and - no less important - the consolidation of political parties and of civil society. Chile notes with particular interest the Council's recommendation to the Department of Peacekeeping Operations that it undertake a comprehensive evaluation of the security situation in Haiti with a view to determining whether it may be necessary to strengthen the military and police contingents, especially given the crucial need for a secure environment for the forthcoming elections.”

  8. “We welcome the improved coordination between the military and police components of MINUSTAH and the Haitian National Police, including with regard to joint military operations. My delegation is pleased to inform the Council that our uniformed police - the Carabineros de Chile - signed, on 11 March, a bilateral cooperation agreement with the Haitian National Police. Under that agreement, a delegation of Carabineros worked for 10 days with the Haitian National Police in order to assess the professional requirements of that force. We reiterate that efforts to strengthen the police force will prove fruitless if they are not pursued within the context of a total overhaul of the key institutions responsible for enforcing of the rule of law in Haiti, which are currently in a very fragile state.”

  9. “In this connection, we consider it of paramount importance that MINUSTAH be provided with the financial resources requested by the Secretary-General so that the effective implementation of the DDR programme can begin as soon as possible, without prejudice to any voluntary contributions that might be made. One of the international community's main tasks is to equip Haiti with a police force whose institutional doctrine is founded on respect for the rule of law and the promotion and protection of human rights. Great care must be taken in recruiting and training such a force, which must also be carried out in a transparent manner. That is the only to gain the trust of the citizens. When the United Nations forces leave, the National Police will have to be the backbone of the maintenance of the rule of law.”

  10. “Since last December, the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) has nearly attained the military and police strength provided for in resolution 1542 (2004), thereby enabling it successfully to carry out a number of operations in Haiti. That progress was achieved in the context of a security situation that remains fragile. We therefore agree with the Council that there is a need to implement, without further delay, an in-depth and comprehensive programme of demobilization, disarmament and reintegration (DDR). Bringing peace to Haiti will require the disarmament of the whole of Haitian society, not only those who have served in the army. But disarmament without the reintegration of such forces will certainly not achieve the ultimate objective of consolidating peace.”

  11. “Mr. Muiioz (Chile) (spoke in Spanish): The delegation of Chile would like to express its appreciation to you, Madam President, and to Denmark for having convened this open meeting to consider the situation in Haiti. We would also like to thank the Permanent Representative of Brazil, Ambassador Ronaldo Sardenberg, for having introduced the report of the Security Council mission to Haiti, which took place from 13 to 16 April. The Security Council mission, which was undertaken in conjunction with the mission of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti of the Economic and Social Council and was the first such visit to Latin American and Caribbean region, reaffirmed the United Nations commitment to the process of Haiti's political stabilization and economic and social reconstruction.”
