Haiti - UN : Security Council highlights development prospects for Haiti 26/06/2017 09:36:17
The Council delegation, led by Bolivia, who chaired the Security Council in June, met with President Jovenel Moïse and his Government, the Parliament, the National Police, the Supreme Council of the Judiciary, the Office for the Protection of Citizens, the Superior Court of Auditors, and representatives of civil society and the private sector. "The encounters with these interlocutors allow us to come to better understanding of the challenges the government and people in Haiti face in this new political context," declared Sacha Sergio Llorentty Solíz. "We have heard appeals concerning cholera, including the testimony of the victims, and we reiterated the support of the Security Council to the new approach of the Secretary-General," said Llorentty Solíz, adding that Council members also welcomed the support of the entire United Nations system and partners to the Haitian government and people in this regard. "Haiti has fortunately entered a new period of stability, providing an important window of opportunity for the government and other state institutions to be able to bring forward a programme of reform so needed to allow Haiti to join the path of sustainable development," welcomed the Bolivian diplomat. The members of the Council welcomed the vision, determination and ambition of their Haitian partners to carry out reforms in different fields. "We felt particularly encouraged by the government and legislature's clear commitment to resolutely address the country's challenges in the field of rule of law and governance, and place an emphasis on strengthen judiciary oversight and accountability," declared Llorentty Solíz. "We are equally encouraged by the authorities' commitment to further strengthen Haitian national police." After successful meetings, Council members expressed a clearer understanding of the concerns and expectations regarding both the closure of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (Minustah) and the transition to the new United Nations Mission for the Support for justice in Haiti (Minujusth), expected to start on 15 October 2017 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-20656-haiti-flash-bye-bye-the-minustah-hello-the-minujusth.html "Our interlocutors gave us first-hand information that allowed us to better understand various aspects and conditions necessary for the successful implementation of the Minujusth established by resolution 2050," stressed the President of the Council "We believe that the new Mission is part of a strategy to ensure a continuous and progressive transition to development." The interlocutors met in Haiti by the members of the Council reminded them that peace and security are intimately linked to the basic needs of the population "If these basic needs, such as health, education, water and sanitation are not assured, it will be difficult, if not impossible to achieve lasting stability and development," reported Llorentty Solíz. Reaffirming the support of the United Nations Security Council to the Haitian government and people, the President of the Council stressed that the forthcoming deployment of Minujusth proves the long-term commitment of the United Nations to Haiti. "In the future, we will continue to support in key areas such as strengthening the national police, protecting human rights and reconciling the rule of law," he said. Llorentty Solíz underlined that this "field visit" of the Security Council and the discussions with the partners will allow to continue the dialogue and the work that is not yet finished. "We know full well that the country is plagued by many difficulties. We will not find quick fixes overnight. It is a process that will be done on the long term, but the Minujusth will accompany the Haitian people as well as the government," said the President of the Council stressing that a stronger level of national ownership and leadership from the Government is also expected.
