“Let us not forget Haiti because we feel that no effort is enough. Let us retake the course of our contribution with clear, precise and executable goals. Today, I call on the international community to look at Haiti in a different way. I also call on Haiti to welcome a new cooperation strategy that fulfils a basic precept, namely, that cooperation through the United Nations system is successful only as long as there are exit strategies and progress is made towards a horizon where the assisted country can live without that cooperation and without the omnipresence of the system. It is time for Haiti to rise up, make progress and take on the task of building its future - with international cooperation and with the decisive efforts of Haitians themselves. As I said at the beginning, many hands make the load lighter.”

“That is why today, as Colombia presides over the Security Council, we call on the other countries that make up the Council and the Organization to reflect on what we have done so far in Haiti and on how we can implement new methods and concepts in rebuilding the country. Let us think about building a better Haiti, not just today or tomorrow but for the next 25 years. We must imagine the Haiti of the future and lay the foundations so that it is Haitians themselves who continue its reconstruction. I am sure that this task is not beyond our capacities or the resources that we have already committed and the ones we are willing to commit in a more coordinated cooperation framework. 1 would like to conclude with a central message. Let us not give in. Let us not leave Haiti behind.”

“In the coming months, a new Government will come into office on the island, and this is an ideal opportunity to reorganize our cooperation with Haiti and our contribution to its sustainable development, because peace is not built by increasing dependency and welfarism. To paraphrase the Liberator Simon Bolivar, whom Haitians helped in a very difficult - and perhaps the most difficult - moment in his life, providing him refuge and supporting him in his military campaign, we could say that peace and the development that makes it possible "will come about not through divine providence but through sensible planning and well-directed efforts".”

“We understand that security is a necessary condition for the rule of law, healthy democratic institutions, and the achievement of sustainable development, and that is why we are contributing to strengthening the Haitian National Police. We have 31 Colombian police officers cooperating with the Haitian police, and we renew our commitment to having them fulfil their support mission. I do not wish to conclude without acknowledging President Rene' Preval for the progress made in the country, for his respect for liberties, and for ensuring a peaceful and orderly electoral process, which, according to the preliminary results reported by the Organization of American States and the Caribbean Community, have yielded Michel Martelly as the winner.”

“Health and education, for example, cannot remain in the hands of foreign charity organizations, but must be progressively transferred to the leadership and management of the Haitian State itself, with the decisive cooperation and support of the international community. We are talking about training a population of which 60 per cent are young people, who cannot depend on sporadic aid. When donor funds fail to arrive and the organizations that provide these services are gone, what will happen to Haitian children and youth? Ultimately, I also want to reiterate my country's resolute commitment to strengthening Haiti's security institutions.”

“The one-plus-one framework, which involves both the Government and the society of Haiti in their own recovery, is the only viable one if we want to strengthen its institutionalism. It is Haitians themselves who can and should help us to prioritize the resources which, within that framework, are aimed at the long- term recovery of Haiti. And this should be the same framework that we apply to the other sectors that need to be reorganized. Health, agriculture, education, and the construction of roads and infrastructure, such as aqueducts, must be a part of this comprehensive support.”

“If we already have a United Nations operation in Haiti, why not use it to address immediate needs and begin to lay the foundations for its transition towards development? Another vital project that can be implemented by the international community is the rebuilding of housing, which we could undertake through bilateral and multilateral projects, with the support from start to finish of donors with their architects, engineers, environmentalists and landscapers. In supporting the construction of dignified and well-planned housing that elevates the population's quality of life, not only would jobs be generated, but the situation of thousands of people still living in tents would be resolved.”

“Let us consider what could be achieved if, rather than having a high percentage of military personnel, the Mission had more civilian personnel and engineers who could coordinate priority matters, such as debris removal - a task in which, fortunately, significant progress can already be seen thanks to the efforts of Haitian authorities. On the one hand, the pre-earthquake landscape would begin to re-emerge, restoring the sense of normalcy that would lead Haitians to believe that things can change; on the other, employment opportunities would be generated, a vital goal for the viability of our common efforts towards recovery. Let us look at this matter from a practical standpoint.”

“At some point we will have to do so, as it is clear that Haiti's peace and security problem will be resolved only if that country achieves economic and social development. Meanwhile, the medium- and long-term development goals set by Haiti should become the required point of reference for coordinating the activities of MINUSTAH and United Nations agencies - a task in which the work of the Special Representative of the Secretary- General is essential. I take this opportunity to highlight and recognize the good work of Mr. Edmond Mulet, who assumed that position and the leadership of MINUSTAH after the earthquake and has achieved much in the midst of difficult conditions. Now we believe that, even working within MINUSTAH'S agreed mandate, we can contribute in areas that are essential to the Haitian population.”

“We have to believe in and think about Haiti in the long term to contribute to solving these pressing problems, which we must admit we have not achieved in the current cooperation framework. As I said in September last year before the General Assembly (see A/65/PV.15), we must all commit to a different vision for rebuilding Haiti. If we use the available resources in a more efficient and 11-29014 effective manner, ensuring economic and social welfare, we will be able to take more concrete and coherent measures, including through resort to existing structures such as the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission. I also believe that we should go beyond the discussion about whether or not the mandate of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) should be modified.”

“We also know that the tragedy suffered by Haitians will not end if local efforts are not complemented by foreign help. Likewise, if Haitians accept renewed support from the international community, we propose that it be built on foundations that guarantee the effectiveness of our joint action. These foundations would include the development of concrete projects with transparency measures that truly lead to an improvement in the quality of life; the elaboration of a long-term development strategy; a commitment to accountability; and ownership by all Haitians of their common destiny. It is necessary to combat the enemies of development and stability, such as institutional weakness, the absence of laws or the failure to comply with them, and the fragile control and supply of basic services by the State, including the provision of justice.”

“Today, the proliferation of organizations acting on the island without coordination among themselves or with the Haitian authorities undermines any effort to strengthen institutions and affects the ability to undertake long- term initiatives, preventing these efforts from yielding concrete results. What is worse, the feeling of failure feeds the vicious cycle of poverty and corruption. During my visit to Haiti last year, I realized that if we truly wish to help, we must do so in different manner. Haitians yearn to be heard. An international community that does not take Haitians' views of their problems into account does not serve Haiti. In this we must be clear. We know that the primary responsibility - the central responsibility for reconstruction - falls to the Government of Haiti and to Haitian leaders.”

“This is not specifically to congratulate ourselves for the good that we all have done. The meagre results achieved require us to reflect on the way in which we are carrying out our work. Haiti's social and economic problems and its reconstruction problems are not new, although they 11-29014 were exacerbated by the tragic earthquake of 12 January last year. Haitians themselves say that it is necessary to rebuild their country, physically and institutionally, and the international community has the moral duty to contribute to that end. However, we must do so in a coordinated and coherent manner, seeking concrete, sustainable and long-term achievements and leaving aside the chaos of well-intentioned but short- term cooperation without lasting outcomes.”

“Allow me to begin this statement using a language that is not one of the official languages of the United Nations but is part of the lives of several million inhabitants of the Caribbean. "Men anpil chay pa loa" is a Creole proverb that means "Many hands make the load lighter". Today, before the body responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security, in the presence of such noteworthy guests, I wish to say that the hands of the world can make Haiti's load lighter. I say it in Creole because our heart today speaks the language of that island. On assuming the presidency of the Security Council, Colombia wishes to promote an open debate on Haiti that renews the impetus towards the stabilization and strengthening of the rule of law in that country.”

“I wish to welcome warmly the President of Haiti, the Secretary-General, the Ministers and other representatives participating in today's meeting. Their presence in the Chamber affirms the importance of the topic under consideration. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2011/l83*, which contains the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti. I also wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/20ll/218, which contains a letter dated 31 March 2011 from the Permanent Representative of Colombia addressed to the Secretary- General, transmitting a concept paper on the item under consideration. I shall now make a statement in my national capacity. "Men anpil chay pa Ion".”
