Haiti - Diplomacy : France deeply concerned about the Haitian crisis 20/03/2016 10:12:47
Excerpts from the statement of Representative of France to the UN : "Mr. President, France is deeply concerned about the interruption of the electoral process in Haiti and by the uncertainties that accompany it. Haiti has more need than ever of stable institutions and vested with democratic legitimacy, to be able to meet the many economic, social and humanitarian challenges the country faces. The Haitian people must also be able to see that the choices it makes through the ballot box are duly reflected and respected. We have taken note of the inter-Haitian political agreement of 5 February. This is a compromise that goes in the right direction, having avoided a vacuum of governance and laying the foundation for the continuation of the electoral process. The success of this agreement remains closely linked to the effective implementation of all its provisions, at the earliest.

We encourage the Haitian actors to take responsibility to conclude the current electoral cycle as soon as possible. [...] The situation in Haiti concerns us all. The support of the international community and the United Nations involvement remain more than ever necessary. But our responsibility within this Council is to do everything for they are as relevant and effective as possible. The challenges facing Haiti and the expectations of its population commit ourselves to take the necessary decisions. Haitian political actors must now be fully aware of that [...]" HL/ HaitiLibre
