  1. “Perhaps the best example of the influence we have had is that the judiciary is now considering a long-term development plan for the judicial system and a robust general inspection mechanism within the judiciary so as to ensure the accountability of the system and those who come before it. That, to me, is of great importance, as is the legacy we will leave to the country's transition. To conclude, I invite the donors and the troop- contributing countries to continue to help and support the Haitian National Police as they transition to a new form of assistance that will ultimately no longer involve a United Nations peace mission.”

  2. “With the recruitment we have undertaken for the coming promotion exercise, which should begin before the end ofthe year, we will reach the 11 per cent mark of women within the Haitian National Police by this time next year. We are therefore riding a rising curve, and I am confident that we will achieve the goals we have set for ourselves with respect to the integration of women in the Haitian National Police. The most outstsanding achievement is the fact that we have developed a general inspection system for the Haitian National Police, which will ultimately help to ensure that a measure of control remains after we leave. This example of UNPOL assistance to the Haitian National Police has been taken up by the judiciary.”

  3. “Today, following the completion of two five-year development plans and the high-level review of those plans, we are confident that, in the light of the 2017- 2021 development plan and the vision for the future, the Haitian National Police is ready for the transition, even though it will continue to need a certain amount of support, as do a number of police forces throughout the world that benefit from bilateral assistance and the help of other national police organizations in support of their ongoing development. One remarkable milestone was reaching the threshold of 10 per cent women in the ranks of the Haitian National Police.”

  4. “Thus, in undertaking more targeted recruiting of senior officers of each contributing country, we are able to provide support in such a way as to maximize trust and support, to the extent that we have been able to transfer our assistance to Haitian mentors who will help to develop the police to that level. This is taking place in the context of the cadre support programme. With respect to professionalization and the transition, I can say that even before the earthquake in Haiti, the Haitian National Police were at a very high level of preparedness. After the earthquake, which did not undermine their spirit or their willingness to learn, we were able to pursue their development.”

  5. “Mr. Therriault: I thank all members for their expressed understanding of the important role of the United Nations Police and for their respective contributions either as police-contributing countries or as donors in support of the efforts that we are effecting in the field. (spoke in French) With regard to cooperation between the Haitian National Police and the United Nations Police (UNPOL), I must reassure Council members that the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti has evolved in a framework of assistance in which UNPOL is present in the 10 departments of Haiti and co-located with the headquarters of each department.”

  6. “Those men and women, working in synergy, have risen to the challenge of supporting police reform in failed and fragile States to empower national authorities to protect their populations and create the conditions for the prevalence of the rule of law.”

  7. “That is the police force that will ensure public security throughout the country following the departure of MINUJUSTH. In 2004, when the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti was established, the Haitian National Police had approximately 6,000 officers, which means that over time, and with the support of the United Nations, the Haitian National Police has increased its strength more than twofold. (spoke in English) Generations of United Nations police officers have served in different missions around the world to build the capacity of host States in preventing conflict and sustaining peace through the increased participation of women in peace operations, sharing their expertise and a policing approach centred on the core notion of a civilian police force built on professionalism, transparency and accountability.”

  8. “(spoke in French) In recent years, the fact that the United Nations Police has been an integral part of overall efforts to reform the security andjustice systems has also been an advantage because it has enabled missions to address the issue of the rule of law in a more coordinated and comprehensive manner. Police reform has a multiplier effect as a vehicle for stability in every society and plays a central role in all approaches to conflict prevention. For the Haitian National Police, significant progress has been made as a result of the involvement of all stakeholders in the implementation of the reform and development plans from 2005 to 2016 and the implementation of the 2017-2021 strategic plan. In addition, there are now 15,735 members of the Haitian National Police force, 1,568 of whom are women.”

  9. “In accordance with its Strategic Guidance Framework for International Police Peacekeeping and with a view to professionalizing the Haitian National Police, the police component of MINUJUSTH promotes the rule of law in Haiti in consultation with other actors on human rights, community violence reduction, gender and internal control mechanisms, to name a few. In fact, by continuing to support the development of the Haitian National Police General Inspectorate, the United Nations Police ensures that when it withdraws, it will be eventually replaced by a robust oversight mechanism that will be able to maintain internal controls, conduct audits, investigate human rights violations and provide recommendations for continuous improvements and the professionalization of the Haitian National Police.”

  10. “MINUJUSTH relies on its 295 individual police officers and seven formed police units deployed across the nation to promote safety and security through joint operations with the Haitian National Police as a united and professional critical mass of peace officers. Among other achievements, that arrangement has enabled the continuous development of the Haitian National Police's public order management and its capacity, under the guidance of collocated international police advisers, to positively impact the security and stability perception, which is undermined when democratic protests turn into violence. In addition, the United Nations Police has the advantage of acting as part ofa larger mission. Thus, it benefits from access to political influence and additional specialized services offered by other mission components.”

  11. “(spoke in English) The greatest comparative advantage of the United Nations Police may lie in the fact that it brings international legitimacy to efforts aimed at developing local police. Through its independence, impartiality, commitment to United Nations values and respect for international human rights standards, it contributes to building local confidence in the police and reaches into all spheres of society to promote the rule of law. The United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), which is the only peacekeeping mission without a military presence, is a perfect example ofthat.”

  12. “Mr. Therriault: A capable and accountable police force is a key social and institutional asset for any society. When citizens see themselves in their police, trust their State institutions and see their dignity and safety in good hands, citizens trust each other, the social contract holds and, above all, peace holds. (spoke in French) United Nations doctrine is positioned to view the role of United Nations Police in the broader context of the rule of law and to ensure that the rule of law and human rights are fully integrated into its activities. Police services are a part of governance that aim to ensure that the rights of all persons, without any distinction, are protected, encouraged and respected and that personnel reflect the communities they serve.”
