  1. “In closing, let me thank Judge Theodor Meron, who recently stepped down from the Residual Mechanism, for his long and committed service to the Mechanism and to the International Criminal Tribunals before that. I also want to convey, through President Agius, a welcome to Judge Fatimata Sanou Touré of Burkina Faso to the roster of judges.”

  2. “We note the announcement of Judge Agius and applaud the fact that there seems to be a good solution for the long-lasting difficult situation of the persons who have been in a safe house in Arusha. We also commend the Niger’s very helpful role in this arrangement. Norway also greatly appreciates the Office of the Prosecutor’s work to account for the remaining fugitives indicted by the ICTR. However, we are concerned by the reported lack of timely and effective cooperation from Member States, which is preventing the achievement of successful results. We again urge all States to fully cooperate with the Mechanism and arrest and surrender all remaining fugitives. The Council should also assume its responsibility by considering every possible measure to facilitate the arrest and surrender of those wanted by the Mechanism.”

  3. “However, we do regret the lack of progress in the Jojić and Radeta case, and once again strongly urge Serbia to cooperate fully with the Mechanism. At the very least, its lack of action more than two decades after the Balkan wars sends the international community the wrong message. The Mechanism is of course dependent on the cooperation of Member States in order to fulfil the mandate the Security Council has provided to ensure accountability and justice for the victims. And we urge Member States to fulfil their obligations in this regard. As the successor of two International Tribunals — for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda — the Mechanism must carry out and eventually complete the work related to both situations.”

  4. “We were a staunch supporter of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) since their establishment in the early 1990s, and now, we are a staunch supporter of the Residual Mechanism. Norway commends the Mechanism’s high level of activity during the reporting period. We note significant judicial activity and a series of visits and meetings to advance the cases on which it is working, including the delivery of judgments in the Stanišić and Simatović re-trial and in the contempt case of Nzabonimpa et al. We take note that both cases are now in the appeals phase. Furthermore, we note that pre-trial preparations have been advancing in the case against Kabuga.”

  5. “I would like to thank Judge Agius and Prosecutor Brammertz for their thorough reports to the Security Council, transmitted by the Secretary-General in document S/2021/694, and for their briefings today. I also welcome the representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Rwanda and Serbia to the Council. Let me at the outset reaffirm Norway’s strong support for the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, which diligently implements the important mandate given to it by the Security Council. Let me also stress that Security Council decisions must be adhered to. Non-cooperation undermines the Mechanism, undermines the Council and undermines international law. The fight against impunity for the most serious crimes is a central element of Norway’s foreign policy.”
