  1. “In conclusion, those of us who are fortunate enough to have persons of Haitian origin in our communities know them to be extraordinarily talented and industrious. For that reason, if we meet our commitment to working together to strengthen a Government that empowers and protects all citizens of Haiti, there is good reason to be hopeful about Haiti's future.”

  2. “Such a dialogue represents an important step towards inclusive, free and fair elections this fall and national reconciliation in the long run. My Government is pleased to support the work of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the United Nations in helping Haiti to prepare for those elections. The United States has contributed some $9 million to that effort through the OAS and another $1.25 million through our bilateral assistance programmes. We understand that the election effort will require substantial additional funds for voter education, infrastructure improvements and security. To ensure successful elections, we strongly encourage donors to give generously to that effort.”

  3. “We support efforts by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and MINUSTAH, consistent with the mandate provided in Security Council resolutions 1542 (2004) and 1576 (2004), to join with other United Nations organs, the international financial institutions and Member States to assist the interim Government of Haiti in designing and implementing those urgent, high-impact projects for the recovery and development of Haiti. During his visit to Haiti last month, Secretary of State Colin Powell consulted with Haitian authorities and representatives of civil society about the need for a broad national dialogue in Haiti. We believe that any party in Haiti that accepts democratic principles and rejects the path of violence should have a place at the table in such a dialogue. We commend MINUSTAH's efforts in support of that process.”

  4. “We expect to spend well over $150 million in Haiti during the course of this year. It is important to remember that pledges alone will not improve Haiti's conditions. We must work to overcome the bureaucratic hurdles in each of our Governments and institutions to disburse the funds that we pledged at last year's conference. Haitian authorities should redouble their efforts to identify concrete projects and to accept appropriate technical advisors and support to implement those programmes in an urgent fashion. Similarly, we call upon donors to intensify their efforts to remove any bureaucratic hurdles to projects that would improve the lot of average Haitians today and give them precious hope for the future.”

  5. “Also, we encourage the international community and the interim Government to focus on building an effective civilian police force to improve security and to protect the rights, lives and property of all Haitians. Security and development are inseparable. The improved security climate offers the opportunity to deliver on our collective commitment to helping to bring real political and economic recovery and growth to Haiti. At the World Bank donor's conference last July in Washington, DC, the international community pledged more than $1 billion to help Haiti. The United States is delivering on its commitment to Haiti, spending over $113 million on economic development, health care, jobs and disaster relief in 2004, which accounts for approximately half of the international community's donations to Haiti for that year.”

  6. “As the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) approaches its fully authorized strength, it has demonstrated that it has the will and the wherewithal to improve the security conditions of the Haitian people, consistent with its mandate. Since it intensified such operations in December to confront gang activities and to defend the rule of law in the capital city, Port-au-Prince, MINUSTAH has made significant, important progress in augmenting security in the Haitian capital's most impoverished neighbourhoods. We call upon the international community and the interim Government to work in concert on a comprehensive programme to disarm, demobilize and reintegrate into productive society all irregular forces and irregular armed groups in Haiti.”

  7. “The United States appreciates Argentina's initiative to focus the Council's attention on Haiti. The United States stands committed to our collective effort to improve stability, strengthen the rule of law, consolidate representative democracy through elections and lay the foundation for long-term economic recovery and growth in Haiti. The international community has responded to the crisis in Haiti with a coordinated effort to establish security and promote political reconciliation. I wish to highlight the contributions of Brazil, Argentina and other western hemisphere countries to this important and worthy effort.”
