On 6 April the Council is expected to hold a debate and discuss the latest Secretary-General’s report on the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and perhaps also a report on the Council’s visit to Haiti in March, prepared by Costa Rica.

-
The Secretary-General’s report on the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) is due by 31 August.

The Secretary-General's report on the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) is before the Council. The mandate of MINUSTAH expires on 15 October.

Informal discussions in January are likely, particularly among the Group of Friends of Haiti.
-
The mandate for the UN Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) expires on 15 August. The Council will review the Secretary-General's recommendations for MINUSTAH. While not expected to advocate major changes in the mission's structure, this report will likely suggest a shift in the way the mission implements its mandate to incorporate an increased focus on institution-building, particularly in the security and justice sectors.

René Préval is scheduled to be sworn in as Haiti's president on 14 May. The Council is likely to welcome Préval's inauguration in a presidential statement.

The Council is expected to renew the mandate of the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), which expires on 15 February.

Presidential Elections in Haiti, most recently scheduled for 8 January, have been postponed for the fourth time, on the grounds that a significant number of registered voters had not yet received their electoral identification cards. Haitian officials said the OAS and the UN were responsible for the failure of the distribution of the cards.
