  1. “My region and Government in the Caribbean experience relative peace. We continue to emphasize our zone of peace. In our region we promote brotherhood and sisterhood, and therefore the Government and the people of Antigua and Barbuda, together with the Governments of the other Heads of the Caribbean Community - as was stated here earlier - continue to avail themselves of facilitating dialogue and a peace process that will return the Government of Venezuela to its continued operations and functions legitimately conferred upon it by the May 2018 elections.”

  2. “The Charter of the United Nations is clear with regard to the promotion of international peace and respect for sovereignty. The Charter also makes clear that Member States should refrain from the threat or use of force. Any unilateral declaration of support for one side or the other and undue and uninvited influence in the internal affairs of the Bolivian Republic of Venezuela do nothing other than undermine the peacebuilding process, which requires our full attention, urgency and focus. My Government therefore rejects any external force that interferes with the internal matters of the Government of the Bolivian Republic of Venezuela, and furthermore rejects any attempt by any political unit within the country to take power in a manner other than by the constitutional process, through which they are all allowed.”

  3. “Let me begin by first congratulating you, Mr. President, on your leadership of this organ during the month of January. My country, Antigua and Barbuda, is extremely proud of your exemplary leadership as a small State in the Security Council for this month. We cannot, and no one, can describe the situation in Venezuela in any other term but serious. The situation of the Government and the people of Venezuela is of great importance to my region and country. We do not, and will not, stand to see the promise of the zone of peace in our region break. Our world is littered with examples by which external interference in other countries in an attempt to bring about or impose peace has resulted in those countries and societies remaining in a state of uncertainty, disorganization and chaos, and they have yet to find peace.”

  4. “This is the time for us to reinforce our readiness to lend ongoing support for Haiti's continued development. This is the time for us to lend international collaboration and continued support for the work on the ground. In conclusion, CARICOM. remains committed to working together with other partners in the international community in support of the agenda for Haitian development and the agenda of the Haitian Government and people.”

  5. “remains gravely concern about the decline in international aid, especially in the area rehabilitating services in Haiti. We join the call for continued international aid to continue to support the development effort to uphold the gains made to date. Haiti continues to experience a political, social and economic crisis; as such, the discussion at these meetings should not be whether MINUSTAH should be concluded or by how much it should be reduced, but rather we should recognize the challenge presented and uphold the mission to expand and continue MINUSTAH, as we have heard in the appeal of the Government and the people of Haiti. CARICOM. calls upon the international community to convey by its action a message of confidence in all Haitians.”

  6. “We note, however, that the targets for the Haitian National Police development plan fall short, and we recognize the call made in the presentation this morning by the Special Representative. We are further encouraged by the reduction in the levels of cholera, despite the spike about which we heard earlier today. We therefore continue to encourage international assistance in plugging the gaps in water and health infrastructure and security that may have been a cause of that increase. While there have been a number of other positive developments in Haiti - and we welcome the continued development efforts for the Government and the people of Haiti and the Framework for the Coordination of External Aid, put in place by the Haitian Government - CARICOM.”

  7. “We therefore emphasize the need for a continued military presence on the ground in Haiti to be maintained. The security of Haiti and its people is paramount, particularly given the fact that at this time, as the elections approach, the drawdown of military resources introduces significant political challenges and risks, particularly as we know and have heard about the growth in the electorate in the country. It would be unfortunate if the gaps created by this downsizing compromised the gains that have been made thus far. Nevertheless, we in CARICOM. are encouraged by the performance of the Haitian National Police. We are pleased at the progress towards national security, for which the police has taken increased responsibility.”

  8. “welcomes the plans to encourage investment, which will play a critical role in furthering social and economic development opportunities for Haiti. Nevertheless, we submit that international assistance must be aligned with Haiti's own national development interests and plans. We believe that national development must be grounded locally. We remain optimistic that the forward momentum achieved thus far will be sustained and that all parties involved in the political process will aim to sustain such progress as has been made, and also work together to put in place the machinery for the next electoral cycle, about which we have heard much this morning. CARICOM. notes with caution that this is the third consecutive year of downsizing the Mission in Haiti.”

  9. “The Secretary-General's report (S/2015/ 157) provides us with very incisive and useful information on the progress of the efforts of the United Nations in bringing lasting peace and stability to Haiti. CARICOM commends the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and the international community for their continued efforts in stabilizing Haiti. At the same time, CARICOM. wishes to pay tribute to those injured or killed in the line of duty. CARICOM. welcomes the recommendation of the Secretary-General for the extension of the mandate of MINUSTAH until 2016. We believe that stability and economic development in Haiti is linked to the wider development agenda of our subregion and to its stability and opportunity for sustainable growth. CARICOM.”

  10. “I wish to thank you, Mr. President, and your team for leading this debate. I thank the Special Representative for her very informative update and briefing this morning and for her leadership, with the Universite de la Fondation Dr. Aristide, in the work in Haiti. I have the honour to deliver this statement on behalf of the 14 States members of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). CARICOM. believes that our active engagement and concern for Haiti is not just a demonstration of our solidarity towards a sister Caribbean nation, but also a message as to the willingness and capacity of our CARICOM. community to live up to our international responsibilities.”
