Explanation of vote by Political Coordinator of Slovenia to the United Nations Klemen Ponikvar at the meeting on the question concerning Haiti

I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Slovenia.

Slovenia voted in favour of the resolution and welcomes the consensus reached by the Council members on its text.

The resolution extending the mandate of the MSS mission comes at a pivotal moment for its operations on the ground.

While the security situation in Haiti remains concerning, the MSS mission, now comprising personnel from three different nations, is providing important operational advancements to the Haitian National Police.

The extension of the mandate paves the way for the reinforcement of the MSS mission and its delivery of the impactful results that the Haitian population expects.

These are also the results the Haitian population deserves.

That being said, we encourage additional voluntary contributions and support for the MSS Mission, as they are essential for its accelerated deployment.

The unanimous adoption of today’s resolution is not a final goal, but rather an important milestone upon which we must build.

The Council’s efforts to improve the humanitarian, human rights, political, and security situation in Haiti must continue using all the tools at our disposal.

In this process, while ensuring that the mistakes of the past are not repeated, we reaffirm our unwavering solidarity with the Haitian people whose best interests will continue to guide us in the Council’s work.

I resume my function as President of the Council.
