  1. “Finally, my country hopes that the plan for restructuring and reorganizing MINUSTAH and its activities and its progressive withdrawal from Haiti will, rather than weakening support to the Haiti, contribute to refocusing its efforts on the areas of priority interest to the country.”

  2. “I would like to conclude by calling upon the entire political class and people of Haiti to face the significant obstacles and challenges before them in terms of improving governance in their country, stimulating growth and reducing poverty in order to stop the fruitless political infighting that impedes their country's path towards progress. My country believes that the international community should remain at Haiti's side, but that it is up to Haitians themselves to face their own challenges and find the most appropriate solutions to them. To that end, their political institutions and structures responsible for upholding the rule of law must be reinforced, and the electoral process must be free, transparent, peaceful, credible and legitimate in order to contribute to the consolidation of democracy in the country.”

  3. “The Secretary-General's report also notes that there was a significant decrease in the provision of basic services owing to a decrease in the level of funds available, and Togo fears a return of the cholera epidemic, the beginnings of which have already been announced. My country therefore calls on the international community to further help the Haitian authorities to invest in the provision of drinking water and sanitation infrastructure in order to counter the resurgence of the epidemic. My country believes that, in the absence of clear legal responsibility incumbent upon it, the United Nations should continue to fulfil its moral responsibility to help the Haitian authorities to eradicate that disease, the source of which is well known.”

  4. “In that regard, we urge all Haitian political stakeholders to work on the basis of consensus so that preparations for the elections can be undertaken and the latter can take place in an inclusive and transparent manner. Moreover, Togo calls on Haitian authorities to continue the necessary reforms to restore the State's legal framework, establish and strengthen public institutions and improve their people's lives. The humanitarian situation in Haiti remains a source of serious concern for my country. With the gradual Withdrawal of humanitarian agencies, the living conditions in the camps, where there is still a very high number of internally displaced persons, continue to deteriorate.”

  5. “In that regard, we applaud the work carried out by the Religions pour la paix coalition, which led the representatives of the executive branch and Parliament to sign, on 24 December 2012, an agreement on the modalities establishing a temporary electoral council. We welcome the information provided on the designation ofthe members ofthe three branches of Government that will have a seat in that body - an important step towards the holding of elections in Haiti. We welcome the commitments undertaken by the President of the Republic and the National Assembly on 14 January, at the opening of the Assembly's first ordinary session of the legislative year, to organize free partial legislative, municipal and local elections this year and to see to it that the country takes responsibility for over half of the electoral budget.”

  6. “Laurent Lamothe as Prime Minister, which put an end to months of political crisis, the enactment of constitutional amendments that had been pending since June 2011 and the establishment of the Superior Council of the Judiciary should pave the way to an end to the crisis. All of those events seemed to indicate that the political partisan divisions of the Haitian political class had been overcome and a collective commitment had been undertaken to quickly organize elections, thereby making it possible to gauge the true democratic progress achieved in Haiti. Unfortunately, that dynamic was slowed by the failure of the political class to come to an understanding on the composition and designation of the institution that would organize the elections.”

  7. “In that regard, we encourage them to continue with the modernization of the legal and institutional framework of the security, judicial and penal sectors. However, we remain concerned by the gender-based and sexual violence highlighted in the report, especially against children. We commend the work undertaken by MINUSTAH and the Haitian National Police aimed at raising awareness among potential victims of the remedies available to them. With respect to the political situation, Togo welcomes the progress achieved by Haiti in stabilizing and building the rule of law, even though the positive dynamic set in motion last year by the Haitian political class might have led one to expect much more significant progress. Parliament's approval, in May 2012, of the appointment of Mr.”

  8. “My country welcomes that stability and urges the Haitian authorities to continue the process of strengthening the operational capacity and modernization of the National Police, as well as to effectively fight against armed gangs, which are the main sources of insecurity in the country. We therefore welcome the adoption by the Council of the National Police development plan for the period 2012 to 2016, which defines the strategic vision, objectives and means for implementation. We encourage Haiti's partners to continue to support the country so that the funding gap is bridged in order to allow for the achievement of all the objectives. We also call upon the competent authorities to carry out crime prevention and repression efforts in strict observance of the rule of law.”

  9. “Mr. Salifou (Togo) (spoke in French): I wish, like other delegations, to thank Mr. Nigel Fisher for his presentation of the interim report (S/2013/139) on the United Nations Mission for Stabilization in Haiti (MINUSTAH). I also congratulate him on his appointment as Acting Head of Mission and assure him of the full support of my country in the performance of its new duties. I shall focus my statement on the security, political and humanitarian situations. Efforts in the security sector have been among the achievements of the cooperation between the Haitian Government and MINUSTAH. The Secretary- General's report indicates that the security situation remained stable despite the upsurge in civil unrest and a rise in crime.”
