  1. Last but not least, we commend the tireless efforts of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti and the United Nations country team in Haiti, and we would like to reiterate our support for the Haitian people in the pursuit of peace, security, unity and development in the country.

  2. We reiterate our previously stated position in calling on the United Nations and the international community to urgently prioritize resources, without preconditions, for supporting the organization of these elections in a peaceful environment and to increase assistance needed to protect Haitian citizens on the road ahead. Thirdly, on reconciliation, we would like to stress the importance of national unity for Haiti on the way forward. We call on Haitian authorities and all other parties S/2021/174 concerned to give the highest priority to the interests of the people and demonstrate a spirit of mutual understanding and trust to overcome current differences. We believe that this is the viable path towards finding common ground and a peaceful way out of the political impasse in Haiti.

  3. Secondly, on political progress, the polarization among political actors and the unscheduled electoral framework agenda have remained the biggest challenges hindering the constitutional reforms, representing one of the root causes of Haiti’s instability and fuelling anti-Government protests. In this context, the year 2021 is a milestone for Haiti, especially in terms of holding elections. We therefore urge all parties involved to make further efforts to reach a political agreement on the modalities for and timing of the elections acceptable to all Haitian stakeholders, including the political representation of women and youth.

  4. We urge the Haitian Government and local authorities, while their ongoing efforts to address criminality are commendable, to uphold their responsibilities to dismantle gang groups and criminal organizations. Other measures should also be taken to stop violence and to better protect vulnerable groups, particularly women and children, from the negative impact of both the political impasse and socioeconomic hardship. For further progress to be attained, we echo the Secretary-General’s call on Haitian authorities to establish a comprehensive national weapons and ammunition management framework, in accordance with relevant international arms control instruments, standards and guidelines.

  5. The divisions within its polity and the failure of dialogue aimed at political agreement have further deepened the current political impasse and continue to be huge impediments for the people of Haiti. Against this backdrop, I would like to stress the following three points. First, on security situation, we are concerned about a number of long-standing threats and challenges, especially the recent increase in the level of gang-related violence and kidnappings over parts of Haiti. Women, children and other vulnerable groups remain at risk of violence and continue to be marginalized in the political life of the country. In this connection, we are deeply concerned about a report that a film crew was attacked last weekend in Haiti and two Dominican citizens of the crew were held hostage. We strongly condemn such ongoing violence and attacks.

  6. At the outset, we warmly welcome His Excellency Mr. Jovenel Moïse, President of Haiti, to this meeting. I would like to the Special Representative, Ms. Helen Meagher La Lime, for her insightful briefing and all United Nations personnel for their dedication at this very challenging time. I would also like to thank Ms. Vivianne Roc for her information on the latest social developments in Haiti. We are worried about the lack of progress in various areas in Haiti, as reflected in the report of the Secretary-General (S/2021/133). The continued violence and a growing wave of kidnapping, especially gang-related criminality, over parts of the country have exacerbated the existing instability.

  7. Viet Nam would like to pay tribute to the important assistance of all international and regional partners, including the African Union, the Economic Community of Central Africa States and neighbouring countries. We also would like to reiterate our strong support for the work of the United Nations, the Special Representative and MINUSCA in Central African Republic. In discharging its mandates in accordance with resolution 2552 (2020), MINUSCA has been providing exceptional support by mitigating security tensions during the electoral process and engaging with relevant stakeholders to promote dialogue. In conclusion, Viet Nam will spare no effort in working together with other members of the Security Council to assist the Central African Republic and its people in fulfilling their aspirations for peace and stability.

  8. All disputes must be resolved in a peaceful manner, while fully adhering to the laws and the Constitution of the Central African Republic. We call on all political parties to give the first priority to the will of the Central African Republic people, who are longing for a sustained period of stability and development. Secondly, our delegation would like to re-emphasize the pivotal role of the peace agreement. We believe that it is the only viable path towards ending the current crisis in the Central African Republic. We therefore urge the signatories to the agreement to refrain from any action that could further deteriorate the situation and to pave the way for constructive political dialogue. Thirdly, continued support from the international community is indispensable.

  9. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere condolences to Burundi, Gabon, Morocco, Rwanda, the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) and the families of the peacekeepers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of peace. We wish to highlight the importance of ensuring the safety and security of peacekeepers and humanitarian workers and remind parties of their obligations under international humanitarian law. Against that backdrop, Viet Nam would like to highlight the following points. First, we urge all the parties concerned to settle electoral differences through dialogue and negotiation in order to rebuild trust.

  10. We are troubled by the volatile security situation in several parts of the country, including the capital, Bangui, which has been the target of attacks by armed elements on several occasions. We join others in condemning the violations of the peace agreement by signatory armed groups, as well as attacks against civilians, peacekeepers and humanitarian workers on the ground. We are concerned over the fact that violence in the past few weeks has displaced hundreds of thousands of people and made tens of thousands of others seek refuge in neighbouring countries.

  11. At the outset, I would like to welcome the participation of Her Excellency Ms. Sylvie Valérie Baipo Temon, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Central African Republic, at today’s meeting. I thank Special Representative of the Secretary- General Mankeur Ndiaye for his informative briefing. The Central African Republic is now at a critical juncture that is of paramount importance to long-term peace and security in the country, as well as in the subregion. Our delegation takes note of the results of the elections on 27 December 2020, which were later confirmed by the Constitutional Court on 18 January 2021. It is, however, distressing to see that the ongoing political process in the Central African Republic is overshadowed by violence aimed at obstructing elections and the right of people to determine their future.
