UNITED NATIONS, Jan 24, CMC – The head of the United Nations Office in Haiti (BINUH), Maria Isabel Salvador, says the French-speaking Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country is showing signs of progress on the political front despite serious setbacks in terms of security.
Salvador, earlier this week updated ambassadors on the situation in Haiti, where a political transition process to restore democratic institutions continues against a backdrop of ongoing gang violence, mainly in the capital, Port-au-Prince.
“At this crucial time, Haiti needs your continued support more than ever,” she told the UN Security Council, speaking from the Haitian capital.
“In order to organize a constitutional revision process and credible, participative and inclusive elections in this crisis context, Haitian actors must overcome their differences and work together.”
Salvador reported on recent developments, including the appointment of a new prime minister in November which has led to improved collaboration between the Transitional Presidential Council and the current government.
