U.S. RENEWS SUPPORT FOR PROGRESS IN HAITI ELECTION PREPARATIONS
December 15, 2004
Ambassador Roger F. Noriega, the United States Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, updating the Organization of American States (OAS) Permanent Council on the recent “critical” visit to Haiti by Secretary of State Colin Powell, renewed the firm US commitment to that Caribbean nation and to the work of the OAS and United Nations in helping Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) prepare for elections.
Noriega told the OAS member states’ representatives that “there is no task more important before the international community and the interim government than guaranteeing the opportunity for Haitians to participate in robust and peaceful campaigns and credible and inclusive elections during the coming year.” The interim government would have performed its greatest service, he added, “when it hands over power to leaders duly elected by the Haitian people.”
He also called on governments and institutions to speed up disbursement of the more than $1.3 billion they had pledged last July at the World Bank donors’ conference, emphasizing as well the need for the interim Haitian leadership to “make good on its essential tasks of providing security, preparing for elections, and defending the human rights of all Haitians.”
Pointing to international support as critical, Ambassador Noriega reported that Secretary of State Powell had met with Haitian authorities and civil society leaders and discussed the need for a broad national dialogue in Haiti. He noted plans for such a dialogue to be convened next month.
Meanwhile, OAS Acting Secretary General Luigi Einaudi stressed the critical importance of the Haitian elections scheduled for next year. He said elections are “essential to both inclusion and legitimacy,” which in turn “is fundamental to helping to control some of the origins of the political violence.” Einaudi also spoke about the OAS’ particular role in helping strengthen the Haitian state.
After these and other interventions by member state ambassadors, Haiti’s Permanent Representative Ambassador Duly Brutus expressed appreciation for the support—from the OAS and its member states, including the US government, as well as the international community—and spoke about efforts by the interim authorities in conjunction with the UN Stabilization Mission (MINUSTAH) and the Haitian National Police to tackle the security, public order and stability challenges. He also spoke about progress in preparing for the elections.
