“It is also a calming presence during the transition period. We have committed ourselves to this path - to this high road. The Secretary-General's report of 25 August provides a well-considered formula to cultivate an enduring solution. The modernization of Haiti's armed forces, and the creation of a distinct and professional civilian police, in the context of reform of the entire system of justice, are truly among that society's most pressing goals. We look forward to the speedy dispatch of the United Nations advance team and to its assessment of the situation, followed by the establishment of the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIHAT). Haiti is at the crossroads as it enters a delicate phase of the settlement process. We have succeeded in restoring hope in a land from which it has been exiled.”

“I shall now make a statement in my capacity as representative of the United States. The adoption of today's resolution marks a crucial next step in the process envisioned by the Governors Island Accord. The process is not a quick fix. Rather, the Haitian parties have recognized that a lasting settlement in Haiti requires fundamental changes in its institutions, and that the process the international community has helped them to establish provides the opportunity to make those changes in an orderly and peaceful manner. The provision of United Nations military and police personnel to assist is vital to this process of reorientation and rebuilding. It is a tangible sign that our commitment will not end with the restoration of constitutional government, but will continue until democratic institutions are firmly in place.”

“Unlike other similar operations, this one has reflected the security measures and the guarantees that were found suitable by the parties and agreed upon by them in the process which guided the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General. For this reason, we believe that the organizational and budgetary safeguards in operative paragraphs three, four and five of the resolution should not be interpreted as restrictive or as conditions of the commitment to set up the United Nations Mission in Haiti expeditiously. In conclusion, I should like to reiterate Venezuela's support for the actions and the leadership Mr. Dante Caputo, the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General, will no doubt provide to the advance team.”

“The assistance of the United Nations in creating a new police force and in modernizing the armed forces in Haiti will doubtless be of critical importance in achieving this aim. Venezuela is considering as a matter of the utmost interest and urgency the modalities of its eventual contribution to that effort, and we should also like to emphasize the need to follow up on the recommendations made by the United Nations team during the one-month period provided for that purpose. This initiative by the Council is part of a process which, as a result of the express will of the Government of Haiti, has involved our Organization and the Organization of American States (OAS) from the beginning. The Organization has been a key factor in making it possible for us to reach the stage we are in now.”

“The measures in the resolution that we have just adopted have been identified and agreed to by the Haitians themselves, as expressly provided in the Governors Island Agreement and in the letter from the Reverend Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the Constitutional President of Haiti. The Council is therefore working in accordance with these understandings and with full respect for the sovereignty of Haiti. Venezuela, as a country that is friendly with Haiti and as a member of the Friends of the Secretary-General for Haiti to follow up this agenda item, welcomes this step being taken by the international community to give Haiti the assistance it needs as it moves towards a more just, peaceful and prosperous society.”
