AMBASSADOR SALVADOR E. RODEZNO FUENTES, CHAIRMAN OF THE PERMANENT COUNCIL AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE DISCUSSION ON HAITI AT THE PERMANENT COUNCIL MEETING
December 17, 2003 - Washington, DC
1. There is a clear consensus among member states that, in line with their commitment under the Inter-American Democratic Charter to promote and defend democracy, the OAS must remain engaged in Haiti and that the efforts of the OAS Special Mission for Strengthening Democracy in Haiti must continue. This decision confirms the first conclusion of the November 11 Report of the Secretary General and concludes the evaluation mandated by Paragraph 13 of AG Res 1959.
2. The Council also agrees with the view expressed in the Report of the Chairman of the Working Group that the discussion on the mandates of the Special Mission should not be reopened. The Permanent Council accordingly reaffirms the mandates entrusted to the Special Mission to contribute to resolving the current political crisis in Haiti within the framework of resolutions CP/RES. 806 and CP/RES.822. The Mission’s activities should include work in the areas of Security, Governance, Democracy, Justice and Human Rights.
3. The Permanent Council notes that the Special Mission has developed a preliminary concept for the establishment of multi-disciplinary international protection teams to support the holding of credible elections in Haiti. The Council asks the Special Mission, through the Secretary General, to further develop and refine this concept for further review by the member states.
4. The OAS’ ability to continue the Special Mission’s engagement with Haiti depends on the concrete manifestation of the political will of the Government of Haiti, on the comprehension of the role of the Special Mission by the people of Haiti, and on the availability of sufficient resources to carry out its activities. This Council welcomes the pledges made today, but makes an urgent appeal for additional financial and human support for the Special Mission to enable it to fulfill the mandates entrusted to it.
5. Finally, the Council deplores the violence and loss of life which took place during recent demonstrations in Haiti, including the injuries suffered by the Rector and Vice-rector of the University of Haiti on Friday, December 5. In this regard, the Council notes that the Special Mission cannot be expected to assume any responsibilities which properly belong to the Government of Haiti.
