Le @G7 lance aussi un message fort sur la lutte anticorruption en Haïti. Nous appuyons les autorités haïtiennes pour la création d’une juridiction spécialisée pour enquêter, poursuivre, instruire et juger la corruption, avec toute l’indépendance et les pouvoirs nécessaires.

Thank you @citoyendidier, @roos_helene @AFGiroux @AntoineMichon1, @EmbEspHaiti, @USEmbassyHaiti & @CGRuizMassieu for visiting the @IBESRofficiel & UNICEF-supported centre in the South for children formerly associated w/ armed groups, & your active engagement for child protection.

Today, @OAS_official leadership joined @CanEmbHaiti & the Director General of @pnh_officiel to officials inaugurate the Morne Casse Tactical Police Training Center. The delegation shared vivid exchanges with the first cohort of students, observed live training, & toured the base. Funded by 🇨🇦 @CanEmbHaiti, the project's end goal: a fully-equipped tactical training center, a certified HNP instructor cadre, a complete training curriculum, & hundreds of highly capable operators trained — all handed to the @pnh_officiel. Haiti's security future, built by Haitians. Aujourd'hui, l'@OEA_oficial a rejoint @AmbCanHaiti & le Directeur Général de @pnh_officiel pour inaugurer officiellement le Centre de Formation Tactique de Morne Casse près de Cap-Haïtien. La délégation a partagé avec les étudiants de la première cohorte, observé l'entraînement en direct & visité la base. Financé par 🇨🇦 @AmbCanHaiti, l'objectif final : un centre de formation tactique pleinement équipé, un cadre certifié d'instructeurs de la PNH, un curriculum complet & des centaines d'opérateurs formés — le tout remis à la @pnh_officiel. L'avenir sécuritaire d'Haïti, bâti par des Haïtiens.

Nous avons convenu de renforcer la coordination de notre appui pour répondre aux besoins des partenaires et du peuple haïtiens, en soutien à la mise en œuvre du mandat du BINUH.

Je me suis réuni aujourd’hui avec les membres de la communauté internationale pour échanger sur la coordination de l'appui aux priorités immédiates en Haïti après le 7 février, restauration de la sécurité publique et de l’autorité de l’Etat, et organisation d’élections crédibles.

MSS Marks First Anniversary in Haiti – Thursday, June 26, 2025 Today, Thursday, June 26, 2025, the Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission marked its first anniversary in Haiti. The event was attended by key stakeholders, including: His Excellency Fritz Alphonse Jean, President of the Republic of Haiti His Excellency Leslie Voltaire His Excellency Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé Maria Salvador, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General (BINUH) Arnaud Royer, Head of OHCHR Andre Francois Giroux, Ambassador of Canada Jesus Cisneros, Chargé d’Affaires of Mexico Marco Penin, Ambassador of Spain Patrick Pélissier, Haiti’s Minister of Justice Normil Rameau, Director General of the Haitian National Police Representatives from civil society organizations, international agencies, and members of the media The commemoration took place at the Karibe Hotel and the LSA1 facility, where MSS Force Commander Godfrey Otunge officially welcomed the guests. In his opening remarks, Commander Otunge emphasized that the celebration was not merely to mark the passage of time, but to reflect on a year of dedicated service, resilient partnership, and tangible progress. He acknowledged the collective efforts of MSS personnel, the Haitian government, the Haitian National Police (HNP), the people of Haiti, and the international community in the pursuit of a peaceful and stable nation. Commander Otunge praised the MSS as a beacon of hope and a symbol of the power of international cooperation. He extended sincere appreciation to countries that have supported the mission—financially and through in-kind contributions—including the United States, Canada, France, the Dominican Republic, South Korea, Spain, Italy, Germany, Japan, Singapore, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. He urged other nations of goodwill to join in supporting Haiti during this critical phase of “Decisive Operations.” He highlighted the Mission’s unique model, specifically tailored to address Haiti’s gang-related insecurity. While acknowledging expected challenges in such a pioneering approach—including funding, personnel, and logistics—he assured that these issues were being actively addressed as the country moves toward a referendum and national elections. Commander Otunge announced plans to establish Forward Operating Bases (FOBs), particularly in key areas of Port-au-Prince. These bases will serve as strategic hubs for intelligence gathering, rapid threat response, and the protection of critical infrastructure. He appealed for continued partner support and reaffirmed his commitment to a peaceful Haiti. He also spoke on the MSS Complaint Reporting Mechanism, a human rights monitoring tool established by the Mission. Notably, he reported that in the past year, there had been no cases of sexual exploitation, abuse, or human rights violations by MSS personnel—underscoring the mission’s commitment to integrity and respect for the Haitian people. In closing, Commander Otunge expressed heartfelt gratitude to Haitian authorities, the HNP, local and international partners, the media, and the people of Haiti for their unwavering support. He sent a strong warning to gang leaders and their networks, stating clearly that “business as usual” was over. The MSS, he stressed, is now smarter, more focused, and determined to restore peace and stability for all Haitians. Remarks by the President and Special Guests His Excellency the President commended MSS personnel for their service and sacrifice since their deployment. While recognizing the progress made, he called for continued efforts, noting that Haiti’s challenges go beyond gang violence to include drug and arms trafficking—issues that require united international action. In her speech, Special Representative Maria Salvador reflected on the Mission’s achievements over the past year, particularly in supporting the Haitian National Police. She acknowledged the Mission’s incomplete funding and resourcing but stressed that its actions speak volumes. The presence of MSS personnel from Kenya, Guatemala, El Salvador, Jamaica, and the Bahamas, she said, demonstrates strong international commitment and the need for sustained global support. Madam Salvador praised the leadership and professionalism of the MSS and reaffirmed that both the UN and MSS share a common goal: strengthening Haitian institutions and promoting transparent, accountable governance rooted in human rights. She recalled that in February 2025, UN Secretary-General António Guterres presented proposals to the Security Council to reinforce the MSS mandate—proposals she urged the international community to prioritize. Madam Salvador welcomed the MSS’s dedication to community violence reduction and its plans for disarmament, disengagement, and reintegration (DDR). She noted that the anniversary was a moment of pride and renewed determination, emphasizing that while the road ahead is difficult, unity of purpose and sustained effort make success possible. The Canadian Ambassador to Haiti, His Excellency Andre Giroux, expressed his appreciation to the MSS team for their dedication to restoring peace in Haiti despite the challenges the mission has faced over the past year. He highlighted the gradual return to normalcy and the successful recovery of the IGPNH facility from gang control as a powerful testament to the MSS’s unwavering commitment to a safer and more secure Haiti. OHCHR Perspective Arnaud Royer, representative of OHCHR, called for stronger collaboration with civil society, particularly in implementing the Complaint Reporting Mechanism and in community engagement activities. He reiterated OHCHR’s commitment to supporting both MSS and the HNP in integrating human rights into all planning and operations. Conclusion As the MSS marks one year of service in Haiti, it remains steadfast in its mission to help the country reclaim its path to peace, dignity, and prosperity.

With the new Canadian government firmly in power, I am proud to reaffirm Canada’s unwavering support for Haiti. Our two priorities remain security—through our support to @pnh_officiel and @MSSMHaiti—and the fight against corruption and impunity.
