  1. “France, with its European Union partners, together with the United Nations and in multilateral forums, will continue to play its full part in supporting the efforts of the Haitian people to set their country on track to recovery. It will remain engaged in MINUSTAH and will continue to place its bilateral action in the interim cooperation framework, focusing on both institutional reconstruction and on strengthening basic services. It is through comprehensive, coordinated action that we will meet the challenge of attaining peace. With the tsunami tragedy in Asia, we saw an extraordinary outpouring of solidarity, reflecting a globalization of feelings. Our international engagement does not merely ebb and flow with images of disaster: our commitment is made over the long term, wherever needs remain pressing. And that is the case of Haiti.”

  2. “The Haitian people expect tangible improvements in their daily lives - building roads, replanting trees, access for all to sanitation, clean drinking water and electricity. We need to demonstrate to the Haitian people the benefits of the transition to democracy. They must be given the means to take in hand the reconstruction of their own country. We are counting on the determination of Haiti's leaders. We must be able to count on the determination of the international community. At this critical juncture we must not fail in our duty of solidarity vis-a-vis the Haitian people, nor disappoint them in the hope for a better future that emerged nearly a year ago.”

  3. “Restructuring the judicial system and the police force is essential for establishing the rule of law in Haiti. It is also part of the groundwork in the fight against impunity. Let us be clear-sighted: a race against the clock is under way. A strong and sustainable democracy depends not only on credible elections but also on solid and sound institutions. The third and last point is the establishment of a dynamic for economic development. An interim cooperation framework has been approved. The donors were all present in Washington in July, and then in December. But international support has not been sufficiently in evidence on the ground, in spite of the aid figures that were pledged. Reconstruction projects must be implemented quickly and must offer the prospect of jobs for Haitians.”

  4. “That is a difficult question, but it must be addressed without concession, not hesitating, if necessary, to make full use of the possibilities allowed under MINUSTAH's mandate. Violence and weapons must not determine Haiti's political future. On the political front, dialogue and national reconciliation must be continued so that everyone can express their choice on election day. Conditions must be established so that no party feels excluded from the process. All the political parties should take part in the reconciliation, on the condition, naturally, that they reject recourse to violence. Secondly, reform of public institutions must continue. Reform of the judicial system, training Haiti's national police and promoting human rights must not wait for the elections to be carried out.”

  5. “That is why France is represented today at the Government level at the request of the President of the Republic, Jacques Chirac. I would like to highlight three aspects that strike me as particularly important for the success of the transition. They are part of the same dynamic. First is the preparation for and holding of democratic elections in the fall of 2005, as scheduled. This is a unique opportunity for the Haitian people to take the future into their own hands. The conditions must be met so that the voting can take place in satisfactory conditions. The near full-strength deployment of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) since the end of December should help ensure a safe and stable environment. But for that it is also important that the disarmament process be successfully concluded.”

  6. “I would also like to commend the action of the Transitional Government, which in difficult conditions is trying to anchor its country in this process of political and economic reconstruction. It enjoys our full support as it carries out that task. Together we have established a sincere dialogue on the basis of ties of friendship that have always united us, beyond the upsets of history. In spite of this progress, we must not allow ourselves to be complacent; far from it. I see the ground that still must be covered to achieve the objectives we all seek here - namely, a democratic, united and stable Haiti, on track to sustainable development. It is essential that we all remain mobilized in support of the process we have begun.”

  7. “The United Nations, regional organizations and countries of the American continent have played and continue to play a key role in this mobilization. That commitment must be maintained over time. We have been called on to do that by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Haiti, Mr. Valdes, to whom I wish to pay a special and friendly tribute. With our full support, he is helping to bring about, with courage and determination and in close cooperation with the Transitional Government of Haiti, a sustainable and successful stabilization. I thank him for his very useful report just presented. To support those efforts, appropriate coordination of all the players in the international community is indispensable and must be maintained, in particular through the Contact Group in Port-au-Prince, New York or Washington.”

  8. “Where arms laid down the law, a disarmament process is under way, as attested by the operations pursued jointly on 14 and 15 December against the Chimeres in the Cite Soleil and against the former military personnel in Tabarre, Progress is due first of all to the strength, courage and resolve of the Haitian people, who are overcoming the difficulties in their history. That progress is also the fruit of remarkable mobilization by the international community. We are pleased to have taken the initiative with the United States, Canada and Chile, with the support of the Security Council. After the emergency, the international community has been able to extend its effort to establish suitable conditions for a democratic transition.”

  9. “Mr. Muselier (France) (spoke in French): At the outset, let me thank Minister Rafael Bielsa for having taken the initiative to hold this public debate to address the situation in a country that is particularly close to me and that is linked to France by history and by language. I also wish to commend the presence of the Foreign Minister of Haiti, Mr. Simeon, and the participation of ministers from Brazil, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Barbados and the Bahamas, and of the Under-Secretary of State of the United States. The progress made in Haiti in a year is remarkable. Where the State and democracy had ceased to function according to acceptable norms, a Transitional Government is preparing to hold democratic elections. Where human rights have been flouted, reform of the legal system is under way.”
