- Held on 3 April 2019 with the Secretary-General's report on MINUJUSTH (S/2019/198) before the Council, the report carrying the strategic assessment mission's recommendations.
- Germany held the presidency, with Mr. Heusgen in the chair.
- Special Representative Helen La Lime briefed, and Argentina, Canada and Haiti were invited to participate.
- The debate references the Haitian Senate's failed interpellation session and a parliamentary vote of 93 in favour, 6 against and 3 abstentions, which is a vote in Haiti and not a Council vote.
- It is the debate on which resolution 2466 (2019) was decided nine days later.
The debate of 3 April 2019, held with the Secretary-General's report on MINUJUSTH (S/2019/198) before the Council. That report carried the strategic assessment mission's recommendation to end peacekeeping in Haiti, so this is the meeting at which the Council took up that proposal. Germany held the presidency, with Mr. Heusgen in the chair, and Argentina, Canada and Haiti were invited to participate.
Special Representative Helen La Lime briefed. The record refers to a vote of 93 in favour, 6 against and 3 abstentions following a failed interpellation session in the Haitian Senate; that is a vote in Haiti's parliament quoted in the debate, not a Council vote. The numbers sit next to Council procedure in the text, so they are easy to misread. Resolution 2466 (2019) followed nine days later.
