  1. “I am currently conducting talks with the political class and other components of the nation so that we can, by working together, at long last realize the goal of laying the foundations for a peaceful and democratic social and political system. Those are necessary elements for stability, security, economic recovery and building an inclusive society. I call on the Haitian political class and the other members of civil society to meet with the new Government, in the context of a frank and sincere dialogue, in order to define a governance pact that will create a propitious environment for sound, democratic and participatory governance. Again, I count on the international community to support the Haitian people in their crusade for peace and sustainable development.”

  2. “Reform of the police and the Haitian judicial system is clearly essential. It is also necessary to develop their operational capacities and to enable them to meet their legal responsibilities. It is important that an agreement that conforms to the provisions of the Constitution and the rules and regulations of the police be negotiated in mutual respect. Similarly, I call for financial and technical support from the international community for the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration programme. I also call on MINUSTAH to work more closely with the Haitian authorities to bring about the necessary changes with regard to the professionalization of the police and the justice system.”

  3. “To that end, the support and specific actions of the international community are very important in meeting the Millennium Development Goals, as set out in the Millennium Declaration, as well as in putting Haiti on an irreversible path towards sustainable development. That calls for making available to the people, most of whom do not share in the progress of the twenty-first century, the necessary conditions for a respectable life. I would now like to turn to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, which is carrying out a very difficult task. Along with the Haitian National Police, MINUSTAH is working to improve the security situation in the country. I commend its efforts. We must now orient its mission towards current priorities and establish an enabling environment in which law prevails over violence and force.”

  4. “It also calls for the implementation of a post-electoral programme based on creating jobs, improving basic social services and creating conditions for wide-scale private investment. We must also take into account the Interim Cooperation Framework, which has been extended to December 2007. I call upon donors to continue to meet their pledges by disbursing without delay the funds pledged, in order to support the next Government in its efforts aimed at stabilizing the country and at socio- economic recovery. I welcome the idea of holding an urgent donor conference on Haiti. There is a close relationship between democracy and economic development. Strengthening democracy- to which the international community has for some time been firmly committed with regard to Haiti - cannot occur without the disbursement of funds.”

  5. “International assistance must also focus on the reform of democratic institutions - including the Parliament, municipalities and territorial communities and the judicial system - and the professionalization of the police. I have therefore come here to ask for the support of the international community by calling on it to renew its commitment to a long-term assistance programme for Haiti. In that regard, I would like to refer to resolution 1212 (1998), which emphasized that economic recovery and reconstruction are the main tasks facing the Government and people of Haiti and that significant international assistance is essential for Haiti's sustainable development. In addition, that resolution calls upon United Nations bodies and institutions, especially the Economic and Social Council, to contribute to the development of such a programme.”

  6. “The turnout was also an indication of their legitimate aspiration for an improvement in their living conditions. It also constitutes meaningful progress in the stabilization process. Haiti is today a country needing to be built. The problems are enormous, and there is a sense of urgency everywhere. Poverty, widespread unemployment, the dilapidated state of basic infrastructure crucial to development, and chronic insecurity are the major challenges that the next Government must confront. Increased financial assistance from the international community is proving to be indispensable to consolidate the democratic process and lay the social and economic foundations for Haiti's sustainable development.”

  7. “Mr. Preval (Haiti) (spoke in French): As President-elect of the Republic of Haiti, it is a great pleasure for me to address the Security Council in order to convey to the international community the expectations of the people of Haiti. I would first like to thank the Security Council, and Argentina in its capacity as President, for the invitation to address the Council. I would also like to thank Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the core group, the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and the entire international community for their support for the stabilization process in Haiti. The massive turnout by the Haitian people in the 7 February elections is an eloquent demonstration of their desire to live in peace and take part in national reconstruction.”
