SCRIPT:
Members of the Security Council mission to Haiti wrapped up their four-day visit to the island-nation today (16 February).
Their first top was the police academy in Port au Prince, where instructors from the Haitian National Police (HNP) have been trained by UN Police serving with the UN peacekeeping mission to Haiti called MINUSTAH. Between 2006 and June 2011, the number of police graduates increased from 3,480 to 10,100.
SOUNDBITE (French) Jean Miguelite Maxime, Director Police Academy:
“Following the Haitian laws, the Academy of Police is training the police officers of medium and high level rank.”
The Council delegation then travelled to visit the IDP camp in Carradeux where they assessed the living conditions and the work done by both peacekeepers and humanitarian staff to help residents.
Thousands of displaced persons still live in temporary camps across Haiti, two years after the massive quake flattened much of the country’s infrastructure and killed more than 200,000 people.
US Ambassador Susan Rice spent time talking to some of the 1,300 residents of Carradeux.
The Council also met with women in the Shelter for Victims of Gender Based Violence at the camp, which is a joint venture between national authorities and the gender office in the UN mission.
The shelter receives women who are victims of rape, night attacks and domestic violence and are provided with appropriate treatment.
Later, the Council delegation travelled to a cholera treatment centre in Tabarre for a briefing on the cholera epidemic, which struck the country in late 2010 and has since killed almost 7,000 people.
To date, MINUSTAH has built four Cholera Treatment Centres (CTC), and while the overall number of patients is decreasing in the country, roughly 200 patients a day still receive treatment in this type of centre.
Council members have been visiting Haiti to examine the state of progress since the quake, particularly in reconstruction, job creation and capacity building. They are also evaluating the mandate of MINUSTAH, which has been in place since 2004.
