  1. “(spoke in French) In conclusion, I wish to express my admiration for the Haitian people, their courage and their dignity in the face of such adversity. The nation of Haiti can always count on the solidarity and support of Brazil. Together we have before us a historic opportunity in this veritable national reconciliation process, which will create stable conditions for the just and sustainable reconstruction of the country. Long live Haiti.”

  2. “The promotion of the sort of the multidisciplinary approach that is needed depends on our capacity to achieve better coordination at all levels. In that connection, allow me to highlight the positive prospects stemming from joint efforts by MINUSTAH and the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission. Enhanced cooperation between these two bodies can and will generate greater benefits for Haiti. We will continue to support the work of the Interim Commission towards its goal of converting it into a national development agency. This is the time for the international community to convey a message of confidence in all Haitians. This is the time for us to reiterate our readiness to lend continued support to Haiti, including through MINUSTAH, and always in accordance with the very priorities established by the country's democratically elected Government.”

  3. “The promotion of the rule of law and social and economic progress are mutually reinforcing parts of our work in Haiti. For Haiti to attract investment and generate critically needed jobs, it must be able to provide energy that is clean and conducive to sustainable development, as expressed by Special Envoy Clinton here today. In that context, Brazil considers the construction of the Artibonite 4C hydroelectric plant to be a key element in generating a virtuous cycle of stability and prosperity in Haiti. The basic project developed by the Brazilian Army, an undertaking of $5 million dollars, is ready. The full project has already been approved by the Interim Reconstruction Commission and recommended to receive $40 million funding from the Haiti Reconstruction Fund. We encourage additional sponsors to join us in this endeavour.”

  4. “We advocate for resources to be channelled primarily through the Government of Haiti, whose ownership of the reconstruction process is of the essence. This is an especially appropriate occasion for the Security Council to reaffirm its commitment to Haiti. This commitment, as emphasized in the debate Brazil had the privilege to chair last February (see S/PV.6479), should take into account the interdependence between peace, security and development. This is why Brazil and others have, since the beginning, advocated a truly multidisciplinary approach for MINUSTAH, with parallel actions aimed at promoting security, reconciliation and development. Stability and security are paramount to attracting investment and sustaining growth.”

  5. “We trust that, with the final results of the electoral process and the transfer of power to the new Government, we will be able to concentrate our efforts on reconstruction tasks that will pave the way for Haiti's development in an environment of sustainable peace and political stability. It is true that much progress has been made to date. Key structures are in place and technical assistance is being provided. But major challenges remain unmet. Those challenges include the need for more financial aid from the international community. The resources disbursed so far represent only approximately 30 per cent of the pledges made for the 2010-2011 period. Brazil urges donors to redouble their efforts. We need the necessary financial means to do what it takes to promote Haitian reconstruction and development.”

  6. “We would also like to praise the effective work of Mr. Colin Granderson in supporting the Haitian authorities in the electoral process. This open debate is taking place on the heels of the announcement of the provisional electoral results in Haiti. In spite of a number of difficulties, the democratic determination of the Haitian people has prevailed. We look forward to the successful completion of the electoral process, which will lead to strengthened institutions and more inclusive governance. With a new Government in Haiti, the stage will be set for reconstruction efforts to move forward, in keeping with the urgent needs of Haitians.”

  7. “It is Brazil's belief that the active engagement of Latin America and the Caribbean in Haiti is not only a demonstration of solidarity towards a sister nation, but also a powerful message as to the willingness and capacity of our societies to live up to their international responsibilities. In that context, let me express Brazil's gratitude to the Special Representative of the Secretary-General to Haiti, Ambassador Edmond Mulet of Guatemala. His remarkable knowledge and understanding of the characteristics and specific needs of our sister nation of Haiti have allowed him to make a critical contribution to the country. We should also mention at this juncture that the Organization of American States has played a decisive and effective role in supporting the electoral process that is about to be concluded.”

  8. “At the regional level, the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) has been implementing a cooperation programme with Haiti that was approved by our region's heads of State and Government in 2010. A $100 million pledge to support its implementation has been approved, in addition to the newly established UNASUR office in Port-au-Prince. Brazil is confident that, in line with the commitment to Haiti expressed here today by His Excellency President Santos Calderon, UNASUR Secretary-General Maria Emma Mejia of Colombia will help us to advance Haiti's cooperation agenda.”

  9. “This close relationship, to which the implementation of quick- impact projects is a key contribution, has important consequences when it comes to implementing MINUSTAH's mandate and maintaining a secure and stable environment. On the bilateral level, Brazil has consistently offered Haiti different modalities of cooperation, in agriculture, health, energy, job creation and institution- building, among other areas. As recently as last February, Ambassador Antonio de Aguiar Patriota, Minister of External Relations of Brazil, had the opportunity to visit Haiti and personally convey to the Haitian authorities the readiness of the Government of President Dilma Rousseff to renew our engagement on all those fronts.”

  10. “On the multilateral level, as the main contributor of troops to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and as the country responsible for commanding its military component, we are proud of the harmonious and constructive interaction our men and women in uniform have managed to develop with the local population, which has been made possible, to a large extent, by our shared historical roots and cultural affinities and by the positive footprints that our peacekeepers have sought to leave in the country. Haitians often refer to Brazilian troops as "bon bagay", the Creole expression for good people.”

  11. “(spoke in French) His two mandates as executive Head of State in Haiti have contributed to the creation of a central political equilibrium in that country that has depolarized the system. President Preval has defused the mechanisms of violence in Haitian politics and has guaranteed freedom of expression and of the press. Thanks to his work, Haiti will see for the first time in its history a peaceful transfer of power to an opposition candidate. We can hope that this will be the beginning of the end of the winner-takes-all culture. (spoke in English) We are all united by the important task of contributing to the stability and development of Haiti. Brazil has been firmly committed to Haiti from the outset on three different levels, namely, the multilateral, bilateral and regional.”

  12. “I would like to begin by congratulating the Government of Colombia on its timely initiative of convening the Security Council for an open debate on the situation in Haiti. It is an honour to participate in this meeting, presided by His Excellency President Juan Manuel Santos Calderon. It is also a pleasure to see here high-level representatives from Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as representatives from various quarters of the globe who have lent their best efforts to support Haiti's struggle for a better future. Let me acknowledge in particular the presence of President Rene Preval, who is leading his country through times of great historic significance with an unwavering commitment to democracy.”
