Haiti - Politic : Towards the renewal of the mandate of the Minujusth
On April 3, the 15 member countries of the United Nations Security Council analyzed the Mission to Support Justice in Haiti (Minujusth). Ambassador Denis Régis, Permanent Representative of Haiti to the United Nations, was invited to present his views and comments on the first report of the Secretary-General on Minujust in Haiti (Download the report : https://www.haitilibre.com/docs/N1807184-en.pdf )

Ambassador Denis Régis, in his statement on the Minujusth report in Haiti, declared :

"The Haitian Government is pleased that the Secretary-General has underlined the positive developments in the country's situation over the past fourteen months...

The Government is aware of the road ahead. It intends to continue in the path of reforms initiated. It took note of the observations made in the Report, the conclusions and the recommendations made [...] It is a long-term work that calls for continuous and persevering action over the long term. In this sense, the Government of the Republic of Haiti believes that a technical assistance mission to strengthen justice represents, therefore, an alternative more in line with the evolution of the situation on the ground.

[...] In this regard, the Government wishes to reiterate the importance and value it attaches to the mandate given by the Council to the Minujusth, namely 'help the Haitian government to strengthen the institutions of the rule of law in Haiti, support and develop the Haitian National Police, and monitor the human rights situation'.

The Minujusth as we conceive it and its parameters have been clearly defined, is in a different perspective than the previous mission, focusing on stabilization. It is intended, above all, a mechanism of support and consolidation of achievements. From then on, its time horizon can only be limited. The Government therefore takes into account the withdrawal strategy proposed by the Secretary-General, according to a timetable to be agreed upon by both parties, based on agreed milestones and benchmarks. Similarly, as the Government has argued, it adheres to the principle of the Mission evolving towards a United Nations presence within a capacity-building framework, instead of that of maintenance of peace [...]"


For his part, François Delattre, the Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations, called on the Council to renew the mandate of Minujusth, whose initial period of six months ends on Sunday, April 15, 2018 "We call for the renewal of the mandate of Minujusth before embarking on a transition to a new form of the United Nations presence in Haiti."

Recall that the Minujusth is composed of 7 formed police units (980 people) as well as 295 individual police officers and 351 civil servants for an initial period of six months (16 October 2017 to 15 April 2018) with a horizon of two years.
