9. SOUNDBITE (French) Edgar Leblanc Fils, President, Presidential Council of the Transition, Republic of Haiti:
“We wish to initiate a reflection on transforming the Security Support Mission (MSS) into a Peacekeeping Operation (OMP) under the mandate of the United Nations. This transformation would not only secure a more stable funding source and expand the mission’s capabilities, but also strengthen the commitment of member states to security in Haiti. I am convinced that this change in status, while ensuring that past mistakes are not repeated, will guarantee the full success of the Mission in Haiti.”
