               14 October 2011

                    The Security Council,
                    Reaffirming its previous resolutions on Haiti, in particular its resolutions 1944
               (2010), 1927 (2010), 1908 (2010), 1892 (2009), 1840 (2008) 1780 (2007), 1743

                     Recognizing that Haiti has made considerable strides since the tragic
               earthquake of 12 January 2010, particularly that for the first time in its history, Haiti
               has experienced a peaceful transfer of power between one democratically elected
               president and another from the opposition,
                     Recognizing also, as has the Haitian Government, that the overall security
               situation, while fragile, has improved since the adoption of its resolutions 1908,
               1927 and 1944 (2010), allowing a partial drawdown of MINUSTAH’s military and
               police capabilities as the first step to ending the temporary surge capacities decided
               by the Security Council after the earthquake, while continuing to adapt the
               Mission’s strength without undermining the security and stability of Haiti and
               recognizing the importance of condition-based and security-related decisions about
               the future of MINUSTAH,
                     Welcoming the appointment of a Prime Minister and a Supreme Court
               President and calling on all the relevant political actors in Haiti, in particular the
               Executive and Legislative branches, to engage in an effective dialogue towards a
               political agreement that would consolidate a concrete forward agenda for progress
               in key areas, such as Haiti’s security, budget, recovery and development priorities,
               elections and electoral reform, including the participation of women in the electoral
               processes and the completion of constitutional reform,
                     Acknowledging that Haiti continues to face significant humanitarian
               challenges, with more than 600,000 internally displaced persons still dependent on
               assistance for their basic survival, an ongoing cholera epidemic, and extreme
               vulnerability to natural disasters,

S/RES/2012 (2011)

                     Emphasizing that progress in the recovery and reconstruction of Haiti, as well
               as in Haiti’s social and economic development, including through effective
               international development assistance and increased Haitian institutional capacity to
               benefit from this assistance, are crucial to achieving lasting and sustainable stability,
               and reiterating the need for security to be accompanied by social and economic
               development,
                     Stressing the leading role of the Government of Haiti in the post-disaster
               recovery and reconstruction process, including risk reduction and preparedness
               efforts, and underlining the necessity for increased coordination and complementary
               efforts among all United Nations actors and other relevant stakeholders in assisting
               the Government in this regard, as well as in the overall support to Haiti’s social and
               economic development,
                    Recognizing the work done so far by the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission,
               to which the United Nations continues to provide coherent policy advice and
               technical support, and also by the Haiti Reconstruction Fund, which both play a
               central role in the medium and long-term reconstruction efforts in Haiti,
                     Commending the wide range of recovery efforts delivered by the United
               Nations system in Haiti, especially the United Nations-supported housing and debris
               removal programs and the successful use of MINUSTAH’s military engineering
               units to address urgent needs in the immediate aftermath of the January 2010
               earthquake, emphasizing the importance of increasing participation of Haitian
               authorities and international and civilian actors in these tasks,
                    Urging donors to fulfil without delay the pledges made at the International
               Donors’ Conference “Towards a New Future for Haiti” held on 31 March 2010, in
               order to continue producing tangible and visible reconstruction dividends, and
               underlining national responsibility to provide clear guidance and priorities,
                     Emphasizing the role of regional organizations in the ongoing process of
               stabilization and reconstruction of Haiti and calling on MINUSTAH to continue to
               work closely with regional and subregional organizations, international financial
               institutions and other stakeholders, in particular the Organization of the American
               States (OAS) and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM),
                    Recognizing the interconnected nature of the challenges in Haiti, reaffirming
               that sustainable progress on security, the rule of law and institutional reform,
               national reconciliation and development are mutually reinforcing, and welcoming
               the continuing efforts of the Government of Haiti and the international community
               to address these challenges,
                    Expressing its concern that criminal gangs remain a threat to Haiti’s stability,
                    Recognizing that the overall security situation has improved but further
               expressing its concern that trends since the earthquake reveal an increase in all
               major categories of crime, including murder, rape and kidnapping in Port-au-Prince
               and the West Department,
                    Acknowledging that sexual and gender-based violence remains a serious
               concern, particularly in marginalized districts of Port-au-Prince, internally displaced
               persons camps and remote areas of the country,

2                                                                                11-54600

                 Welcoming the efforts of the HNP to increase patrolling and enhance its
           presence and engagement directly with the population, which may have contributed
           to an increase in the reporting of crimes,
                Recognizing that strengthening national human rights institutions and respect
           for human rights, due process, combating criminality and sexual and gender based
           violence, and putting an end to impunity are essential to ensuring the rule of law and
           security in Haiti,
