During his speech the President Martelly was first greeted the President of the General Assembly, the Secretary General, the Heads of State and of Government, then he congratulated the President on his election as President of the 66th ordinary Session of the General Assembly. Michel Martelly exalted the quality of the Secretary-General Ban Ki moon and praised his dynamism and his deep wisdom. He then sent a fraternal salute to the sister republic of South Sudan which has declared its independence on July 9th, 2011, he said that he share its pride, he transmitted the congratulations and wishes of peace, happiness and prosperity on behalf of the Republic of Haiti. "... I prostrate myself before the memory of all combatants of this cause mowed down by the fate on the eve of seeing this new sun on this part of Africa, "said the President of Haiti. "Mr. President by speaking to you today on behalf of Haiti, I want to add my voice to that of any other member countries, who like us, know the management of the heavy burden of post-disaster and post-conflict situation, to say that the weakest, most vulnerable still has hope, they keep the hope of rebirth..." "... in the case of Haiti it is precisely because an entire people has had the intimate conviction that I was elected with a specific mandate, that of materialized this change..." "...Mr. President, I can tell you that when unfortunately, in a southern country whose the Human Development Index is already a concern a major disaster occurs, then arises very suddenly all the question of responsibilities [...] I firmly believe that it is of the responsibility of the countries concerned to research and find possible solutions because all those imposed generous or not will only produce at medium-term adverse effects. It belongs to the people of southern to decide on their wealth, their raw materials and their destiny." "...in the case of Haiti, I must say that the international community through the United Nations, by accompanying six months after the earthquake the presidential elections at risk has understood the urgency, I thanks it, but firmly I believe it would be irresponsible [...] to deprive the country of aid, of the expertise, of the cooperation of sister Nations [...]"  Concerning the Minsutah, President Martelly declared "... welcomed with relief the first day, these mission to medium term are out of breath, Why ? Because among other things the expectations of the host countries are oversized and also because these missions can not change [...] is a pity, because there is nothing more irresponsible and dangerous to let go a mission without effective national alternative. "...I am aware that unacceptable blunders have marred the prestige of the mission, but the trees should not hide the forest..." "...I just think that the political stabilization goes through several stages, it can not be reduced to a simple peacekeeping force or in an observer role more or less neutral..." Then Martelly the President recalled his "four major axes, namely education, employment, environment and the rule of law. How to build peace without basic education universal and free in a country where illiteracy is strongly present ? How to promote sustainable development without a quality education ? [...] The job I want to say, we can speak of human dignity, human rights, stability and peace, empty stomach has no ears. It is therefore through the creation of decent jobs, fair pay, which respects the rights of vulnerable groups, that the justice begins [...]" "...there will be no peace in the world as long as the living environment, of the countries like mine will be as degraded..." added Michel Martelly. "...the construction of a rule of law, [...] implies among other things, a justice strong, independent and responsible..." "...Mr. President the world will only be more beautiful when the I condemn and I accuse will be silent, Haiti can testify, but Haiti can also say that in the post-disaster support the disbursement of funds that escape the complex and lengthy procedures remains the most appropriate, these procedures accompanied, should allow to the countries concerned to appropriate the strategic initiative of their own destiny" "...it would be desirable that the promises become realities, that the reconstruction projects become realities..." "...it would be very sad that the left hand regain what the right hand gave, and this temptation exists, it is the result of a difficult global economic situation, but again only the truth should prevail, as when the reconstruction is waiting, the wait can become impatient and damaging." "...in the case of Haiti [.] it will for the United Nations, for the Nations Friends to help us to rebuild, to reconstruct more than a physical space, but to rebuild the men and women." "...the people of Haiti joint address of this rostrum of the United Nations a clear message, as long as there are men and women, men and women of good will there is hope. As long as there the united nations and joint there is hope, because us in Haiti we all know [...] we had the pandemic, hunger, exclusion... But Haiti is now standing, standing ready to be rebuilt, ready for a fresh start, HAITI KANPE TET KALE..." "...there is no fatality and it's this new Haiti that opens to the world, it's this new Haiti that opens to investments, to the reconstruction, to dialogue and peace, it is this new Haiti that tells you thanks" Listen the full speech of Michel Martelly (french) Listen the full speech of Michel Martelly (english by UN) HL/ HaitiLibre
