Submitted under paragraph 13 of Security Council resolution 975 (1995), the report records the March 31, 1995 ceremony in Port-au-Prince where responsibility passed from the multinational force to UNMIH, led by Special Representative Lakhdar Brahimi. UNMIH had 6,017 military personnel (2,290 from the United States, 1,050 from Bangladesh) and 791 civilian police. The Paris donor meeting of January 1995 produced commitments of close to $900 million over 12 to 18 months.
The parliamentary and local elections, contesting all 83 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, 18 of 27 Senate seats and about 2,200 local posts, were moved to June 25, with a second round on July 16. The Interim Public Security Force, under 3,000 strong, had no plan to be absorbed once the new National Police started to graduate, and the Secretary-General stressed that the new police and the rehabilitation of the judiciary remain necessary.
