  2. The Niger condemns such attitudes and encourages instead education and a culture of remembrance as key instruments in combating the ideology of genocide in order to foster reconciliation and peacebuilding. My delegation calls for capacity-building for the officials of the States concerned in order to emphasize the principle of complementarity and the assumption of responsibility by national authorities. In conclusion, the Niger calls on the Mechanism to continue its efforts to implement the remaining recommendations made by the Office of Internal Oversight Services in previous assessments.

  3. My delegation welcomes the signing on 15 November of an agreement between the Niger and the United Nations on the transfer of persons released or acquitted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda or the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals. We also encourage all awareness-raising and educational activities to make the legacy of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia known to the affected communities and to younger generations in the region. The challenges related to the judicial proceedings faced by the Mechanism, such as lack of cooperation or denial of genocide, are a real challenge that we must all address.

  4. My delegation also welcomes the regular inspections of the two detention centres in Arusha and The Hague by the International Committee of the Red Cross, which is responsible for ensuring the proper application of the rules governing the Mechanism and respect for international standards. The Niger is pleased to acknowledge that the Mechanism is in a position to fully support its remaining activities for the year of 2021 and calls on the Security Council, in coordination with the General Assembly, to allocate sufficient resources to enable it to fulfil its mission. It should be recalled that Council resolution 1966 (2010) urges States to cooperate with the Mechanism in the execution of its arrest warrants so that the acts of persons who have committed crimes of genocide do not go unpunished.

  5. My delegation also wishes to reiterate its condolences to the President of the Mechanism following the tragic death of Judge Gberdao Gustave Kam of Burkina Faso, to whom we pay tribute for his remarkable contribution to international criminal justice. We wish his compatriot, Mrs. Fatimata Sanou Touré, every success following her recent appointment by the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The Mechanism’s efforts to deliver justice are commendable and we call for their further consolidation, ensuring respect for the rights of those subject to trial, time limits and procedural guarantees.
