Haiti - UN : Intervention of the Haitian Chancellor Généus front the Security Council 20/06/2022 09:33:17 Chancellor Généus highlighted multiple challenges, such as gang violence and deteriorating security, cited in the Secretary General's report https://www.haitilibre.com/docs/SGreport-on-BINUH-EN.pdf and affirmed that the Haitian authorities were not standing idly. "The Government is doing everything possible to normalize the situation and the National Police of Haiti have dismantled many gangs. The Government has also decided to spare no effort to release resources for the National Police. Warning that gangs are acquiring armored vehicles and lethal weapons through smuggling” Jean Victor Généus, declared "[...] it is urgent that the National Police receive, in the coming days, and not in the weeks or months to come strong support from international partners to end to this unacceptable situation." "Friends of Haiti must be determined to quickly provide equipment, training and other support to help the National Police restore security." The Chancellor highlighted the assistance from the United States, Canada and France and also noted the bilateral support provided by other UN Member States. He said he took note of the creation of the multi-donor pooled fund of the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti (BINUH) to help fight gang violence and organized crime, he called for increasing the capacity of BINUH to deal with the unprecedented level of violence and crime in the country. "Security is a public good and a priority for the government and people of Haiti. It is not conceivable to hold free democratic elections in the current environment," he said, adding "It is also imperative to address structural issues, such as the dysfunctional judiciary, corruption and smuggling" calling for concerted international action. Chancellor Généus explained "To restore and provide basic services, the National Police must take back territory from the gangs. Haiti cannot lose sight of the important point, that "a lasting solution can be made possible through long-term economic development," he said, drawing links between the level of crime and extreme poverty..
