United Nations Reports and Resolutions
On 23 February 2004, the United Nations Security Council was convened at the request of CARICOM for the first time in four years to address the deteriorating situation in Haiti.
On 29 February 2004, the Security Council passed a resolution "taking note of the resignation of Jean-Bertrand Aristide as President of Haiti and the swearing-in of President Boniface Alexandre as the acting President of Haiti in accordance with the Constitution of Haiti" and authorized the immediate deployment of a Multinational Interim Force.
On 30 April 2004, MINUSTAH was established and given its mandate with a military component of up to 6,700 troops.
In July the General Assembly authorized the financing of the mission with $200 million which followed a donors' conference in Washington DC.
The first progress report from MINUSTAH was released at the end of August.
In September the interim president of Haiti, Boniface Alexandre, spoke to the United Nations General Assembly in support of MINUSTAH.
In November there was a second report, and the Security Council mandate for MINUSTAH.
The mandate has most recently been extended by the Security Council until October 2010 "with the intention of further renewal".

Famous quotes containing the words united, nations, reports and/or resolutions:
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“There have been some nations who could do nothing but construct tombs, and these are the only traces which they have left. They are the heathen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The three-year-old who lies about taking a cookie isn’t really a “liar” after all. He simply can’t control his impulses. He then convinces himself of a new truth and, eager for your approval, reports the version that he knows will make you happy.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
“No woman ever yet either reasoned or acted long together consequentially; but some little thing, some love, some resentment, some present momentary interest, some supposed slight, or some humour, always breaks in upon, and oversets their most prudent resolutions and schemes.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
