  1. “In particular, Mexico pays tribute to all United Nations staff who lost their lives in pursuit of a better future for the beloved Haitian people. We will never forget them.”

  2. “Mexico, together with Jamaica, co-facilitated General Assembly resolution 71/314, entitled "The new United Nations approach to cholera in Haiti", in which the Assembly recognizes the responsibility of the Organization to the people of Haiti with regard to the devastating effects the disease has had for the Haitian people. In that connection, we reiterate the call made by the General Assembly for Member States to consider the possibility of contributing the unencumbered balances and income credits of MINUSTAH to the United Nations Haiti Cholera Response Multi-Partner Trust Fund. Before concluding, I would like to take this final opportunity to thank and acknowledge the commitment of all military and civilian officials who have been part of MINUSTAH over the past 13 years.”

  3. “In that connection, prevention and the links between peace and security and development are seen as concrete examples of the renewed framework of sustainable peace. The new focus of MINUJUSTH and its necessary coordination with the country team should be seen as an opportunity for coordination - both on the ground and at the Secretariat - of the efforts of the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council and all United Nations agencies. The United Nations has a moral and economic debt to the Haitian people. We have not yet found an appropriate response to the problems caused by the terrible cholera epidemic in order to properly care for the families of the victims and those affected. We can no longer postpone the implementation of a viable solution that will allow us to close this sad chapter of the United Nations presence in Haiti.”

  4. “Mexico, as part of the Economic and Social Council's Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti, has noted the willingness of President Moise to promote a new national dialogue that will give way to a future of prosperity. The United Nations must support the Haitian Government and be sensitive to its priorities. We must encourage Haiti to focus its development - like all other States - on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development so that its people can reap the benefits of the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals. The United Nations has the unique opportunity in Haiti to demonstrate that we face new paradigms and a have a new way of working - that we have moved from conflict management to sustainable development coordination.”

  5. “We welcome the General Assembly's recent allocation of adequate resources to help MINUSTAH ensure a responsible, progressive and prudent transition to the new Mission, so as to avoid a security vacuum and to lay the foundations for sustainable and lasting peace in Haiti. The United Nations is not withdrawing from Haiti. Our presence in the country has evolved and, more important, our conception of peace and development has also evolved. The United Nations country team, which will continue to be present on the ground and from which we expect impeccable coordination, coherence, efficiency and transparency, plays a central role in supporting Haiti's economic and social development, the strengthening of its institutions and ensuring respect for human rights.”

  6. “The unanimous adoption of resolution 2350 (2017), which provides for the conclusion ofthe United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti and to which Mexico contributed a group of military observers, and the establishment of the new United Nations Mission in Support of Justice in Haiti (MINUJUSTH) in October is a natural consequence of the favourable development of the situation in the country. The strengthening of the rule of law and national institutions and the full- fledged pursuit of development with the support of the United Nations and the international community are signs of new times for Haiti, which is decisively assuming responsibility for its future.”

  7. “Mr. Ruiz Cabanas (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): I would like to thank China for having convened this public debate. I would also like to thank the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), my friend Ms. Sandra Honore' Braithwaite, for her briefing, and especially for her tireless work over the past few years. Mexico recognizes in her an esteemed and dedicated international civil servant. Her dedication to the Haitian people and her efforts to bring about the peace and development we seek at the Organization are exemplary.”

  8. “I reiterate the commitment of my country to continuing to work with the international community to tackle this terrible scourge, which is so damaging to our societies.”

  9. “F ourthly, we must strengthen broad-based programmes that support victims of sexual violence, in line with the recommendations put forward by the Secretary- General. To achieve those goals, we must also continue to draw the attention of the Security Council to the issue, and work to ensure that our actions are properly coordinated so as to avoid the duplication of resources. Given the escalating violence confronting us, we need to take concrete actions to ensure full respect for human rights. For that reason, the prevention of armed conflicts and the search for sustainable peace should also be priority goals of the international community. We call for a renewal of resolve of the membership of the Organization and for a commitment to mainstream the gender perspective as one of the core aspects of the work of the United Nations.”

  10. “First, in line with Goal 5 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, above all, we must continue to promote the full participation of women in decision-making in all areas of public life, in order to achieve inclusive and equitable societies. Secondly, we must promote the participation of women in designing strategies to combat sexual violence, as well as in peace processes, in order to foster national reconciliation based on respect and gender equity. Thirdly, we must redesign national policy frameworks to ensure that victims of sexual violence in conflict situations are recognized as being legitimate and can achieve justice and comprehensive redress and the proper access to sexual and mental health services.”

  11. “Likewise, the adoption of resolution 1888 (2009) and subsequent resolutions has strengthened the regulatory framework that ensures effective accountability. Similarly, resolutions 2242 (2015) and 2331 (2016) acknowledged the existence of terrorist groups using sexual violence as a tactic to advance their goals. Despite that progress, however, much more remains to be done to ensure that the terrible stories about the use of sexual violence, with which we are all too familiar are not repeated. Mexico would like to make some proposals to strengthen the development of a comprehensive strategy to address, prevent and eradicate this type of violence.”

  12. “Rape, sexual slavery, prostitution, pregnancy, abortion, enforced sterilization and forced marriages and other abominable practices that constitute sexual violence affect women, men, boys and girls at all levels and in all circumstances. The upsurge in armed conflict and changes in tactics used by non-State actors, including terrorist groups, have exacerbated the incidence of sexual violence being committed. In spite of such challenges, Mexico would like to acknowledge some achievements that have been made. With the adoption of resolution 1820 (2008), we made the shift from an era of silence to one in which we recognized the gravity of the phenomenon and became aware of the urgent need to address it.”

  13. “Mr. Ruiz Cabanas (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): We thank your Government, Sir, for its initiative to convene today's timely open debate to address one of the most important challenges to the maintenance of international peace and security - the use of sexual violence as a tactic of war and by terrorist groups. The unprecedented increase in sexual abuse and exploitation during armed conflict in recent years is indeed alarming. Mexico therefore echoes Secretary- General Antonio Guterres' call to urgently address the issue and raise awareness about the situation of vulnerability in which millions of people live, in order to seek effective solutions to the phenomenon.”
