The United Kingdom voted in favour of this resolution to continue the important work of the Special Political Mission, BINUH, in Haiti. We thank the penholders for their efforts.<\/p>\n

President, last year this Council authorised increased security support and a Gang Suppression Force in Haiti. Today\u2019s resolution complements this, with continued UN focus on the political track.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The political situation is particularly sensitive and critical right now.<\/p>\n

We echo the words of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Ruiz Massieu, who has stressed that now is not the time for political manoeuvring, and we call upon Haitian politicians to put the people of Haiti first.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This includes breaking the political impasse, agreeing governance arrangements upon expiry of the Transitional Presidential Council on 7 February, and concrete steps towards free, fair, and safe elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n

President, we are pleased that this resolution maintains the mission\u2019s existing resource on protection of women and children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These groups are particularly vulnerable to the extreme levels of violence in Haiti, including violence which targets women and girls because of their gender.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are also clear that a political process in Haiti must be inclusive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We expect the mission to continue its work promoting the full, equal, safe, and meaningful participation of women and its engagement with women\u2019s civil society organisations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The United Kingdom voted in favour of this resolution to continue the important work of the Special Political…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294292,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-397551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=397551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=397551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=397551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
