PRESS STATEMENT ON HAITI by Security Council president

Following is today’s statement to the press on Haiti by Security Council 
President John Bolton ( United States):

The members of the Security Council call on the Haitian people to uphold their 
commitment to democracy and the rule of law manifest in their peaceful 
participation in the vote of 7 February 2006 by refraining from violence as the 
results of the election are tabulated and reviewed. They urge all Haitians with 
concerns or questions about possible post-electoral irregularities to pursue 
these peacefully and legally with the Haitian electoral authorities 
immediately, and they call on those authorities to fully investigate those 
charges. The members of the Council reiterate their call for all Haitians to 
respect the results of the election when they are announced and to remain 
engaged in the political process.
