  1. “In the immediate future, however, priority attention should be devoted to helping Haiti build the necessary absorptive capacity to utilize most effectively the assistance that is being provided by the donor community. In conclusion, CARICOM. delegations wish to assure the members of the Security Council that CARICOM. Governments remain committed over the long term to securing the requisite political, social and economic progress for Haiti. In that regard, we would urge the international donor community and the United Nations system through its funds, programmes and agencies to collectively provide all the necessary support and assistance to Haiti, thus enabling it to rise above and overcome the tremendous challenges it is currently facing.”

  2. “delegations consider that the international donor community must live up to its obligations and responsibilities to Haiti, a least developed country, and, in order to address the most central of all the Millennium Development Goals - halving by 2015 the proportion of the population living in extreme poverty - must provide it over the short, medium and long term with meaningful and substantial international cooperation assistance such as would enable the people of Haiti to improve their quality of life and would bequeath to future generations a country that is capable of supporting itself economically and of providing for its own domestic law and order, and that guarantees to its people good governance in both the economic and the political spheres.”

  3. “continues to stress the importance of inclusiveness in the political process in order to promote national unity and an atmosphere conducive to free and fair elections. The Security Council mission's report also addresses to some extent the dire socio-economic conditions facing Haiti's population, and note has been taken of the observation that Haiti is unlikely to achieve any of the Millennium Development Goals before the year 2015. CARICOM.”

  4. “Yvon Neptune, former constitutional Prime Minister of Haiti, who, after voluntarily turning himself in to the Interim Government in June 2004, has yet to be brought to trial. That is in violation of procedures under the Haitian Constitution. CARICOM. heads of State or Government, meeting in February of this year, stated that the indefinite detention of Lavalas leaders and activists - of which the detention of Mr. Neptune is the most glaring example - can be construed only as arbitrary detention on the basis of political affiliation. These persons must either be afforded their right of judicial process or be released forthwith. We are particularly concerned that the prolonged detention of Mr. Neptune has led to the deterioration of his health, with potentially tragic consequences. CARICOM.”

  5. “The report of the Security Council mission to Haiti (S/2005/302) addresses a number of other pressing issues, including the need for the observance of human rights. CARICOM. supports the view that respect for human rights contributes to reinforcing stability and security and reiterates that the interim administration has a special responsibility in adhering to human rights, in particular respect for fundamental political and civil rights and due process. These should be addressed as a matter of urgency in order to restore the confidence of all Haitians in the law, the police and the judiciary. In that connection, CARICOM. wishes to draw to the attention of the Council the situation of Mr.”

  6. “delegations would therefore support the recommendations of the Security Council mission which seek to ensure that the electoral timetable is adhered to, that the required funding is provided to the Provisional Electoral Council and that MINUSTAH's military troop and civilian police strength is reinforced, as appropriate, so as to guarantee the peaceful conduct of these crucial elections, scheduled for October and November. CARICOM. delegations note that the electoral timetable envisages the inauguration of a newly elected Government in Haiti on 7 February 2006, and they would be prepared to support the continued presence of MINUSTAH in Haiti after the holding of the elections and for such time as would provide that new Government with the necessary security and stability.”

  7. “One can only express the hope that, through the firm resolve of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), together with the Haitian National Police, not only will there be an increased sense of security for Haitians as they go about their daily business, but that there will be such a degree of stability and security as to enable the political/electoral process, which has just begun with the registration of voters, to lead to the holding of free, fair, transparent and inclusive elections, the results of which would lead to a democratically elected Government that can command widespread and universal recognition and support. CARICOM.”

  8. “Nowhere is the intrinsic link between security and development more clearly evident than in the current Haitian situation. The mission's report describes in graphic detail the challenges confronting Haitian society in many spheres and at varying levels. Insecurity or the lack of personal safety continues to be a predominant feature of the Haitian landscape, caused in no small part by the actions of illegally armed groups.”

  9. “I have the honour to speak on behalf of the States members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) that are Members of the United Nations. Our delegations welcome the report of the Security Council mission on its visit to Haiti, which it undertook in conjunction with that of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti of the Economic and Social Council. The conjoint mission was the first time either of those two principal organs of the United Nations had sent political missions to Latin America and the Caribbean and clearly demonstrates, given the high level of representation in both missions, the profound interest in and concern which the international community has with respect to the grave political, economic, social and security crisis with which the people of Haiti are currently confronted.”
