UN General Assembly
2019

Several United Nations missions on the ground, especially those of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Haiti, recently took stock of the enormous, multidimensional challenges facing the Republic of Haiti. That is the backdrop for the gradual withdrawal of the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti and the transition towards the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti. We take note of the mandate of this new mission, which essentially will consist of advising the Government of the Republic of Haiti on ways to promote and strengthen its political stability and good governance. It is our strong wish to see this new United Nations mission endowed with all the resources necessary for the full accomplishment of its main tasks. It is important that there be enhanced coordination among United Nations entities in Haiti and that all their efforts be deployed in accordance with the priorities established by the Government of Haiti. It is therefore essential that the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti keep a sustained focus on Haiti’s economic, social and environmental public policies.
