  1. “Finally, we would emphasize the importance of the Islamic Republic of Iran cooperating closely with the 1737 Committee. I would like to conclude by reiterating my gratitude not only to the 1737 Committee but also to the Group of Experts, which we urge to continue its rigour and impartiality in the investigations it carries out.”

  2. “First, we believe that cooperation between INTERPOL and the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1737 (2006) would be a good thing, provided that modalities can be determined in order to dispel reservations in various quarters. With regard to the compilation arrived at by the Group of Experts established pursuant to resolution 1929 (2010) concerning public statements made by Iranian officials on the matter of military assistance to non-State armed groups such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas and Hizbullah, Togo supports further serious and impartial investigation. Togo believes that there is some doubt as to whether statements made in the press could be used as tangible proof of events. The same requirement for transparency and impartiality in investigations applies to the case of the ship seized in Yemen.”

  3. “My delegation calls once again on Iran to fully cooperate in the various relevant areas and to allow inspectors to verify and to report. Iran's cooperation is also necessary with regard to the pursuit of reprocessing activities and projects related to heavy water in the uranium conversion and fuel fabrication processes. We hope that the willingness expressed recently by Iran will extend also to pending requests. We have already placed great hopes in the willingness expressed by the new President, Mr. Hassan Rouhani, to resume talks with the group made up of the five permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany. I should like to conclude with three brief comments.”

  4. “Indeed, in its latest report (GOV/2013/40), the IAEA notes that some of the activities undertaken by Iran in certain installations that are in principle subject to the Safeguards Agreement are contrary to the relevant resolutions of the Security Council and the Board of Governors. Similarly, the Agency's conclusions show that, in spite of the efforts at communication to which I have referred, enrichment-related activities have not ceased at the declared installations of Natanz and Fordow. With regard to the Fordow facility in particular, we urge Iran to heed the Agency's requests for access and to provide the information requested. Answers are also expected with regard to the IAEA's requests for explanations concerning the announcements made by Iran about new enrichment facilities.”

  5. “Some progress has also been made by Iran in terms of information provided about uranium conversion and the manufacture of fuels. In view of all this, the IAEA was able to conclude that the system worked as Iran had said, which Togo welcomes. Furthermore, we welcome the exchanges between Iran and the IAEA, the fundamental elements of which will appear in the structured approach document, which will allow the IAEA to conduct an effective audit. We hope that the talks in Vienna on 27 September will record progress on the issue. While these efforts should be highlighted, the list of Iran's pending obligations remains long.”

  6. “Mr. Afande (Togo) (spoke in French): I would like first to thank you, Sir, for your briefing. I join the 10 representatives who have spoken before me in conrgatulating you on your admirable work chairing the Committee. We note the efforts towards communication and cooperation made by the Islamic Republic of Iran vis-a-vis the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) since our meeting in July (see S/P.6999). That includes information supplied by Iran on its enrichment activities at Natanz in the context of the updated questionnaire on descriptive information issued in late July. Similarly, the following month, the descriptions provided by Iran of the installation of IR- 2m centrifuges were widely confirmed by the IAEA.”

  7. “We believe that, if prisoners who have served out their terms and defendants who have been acquitted continue to be subject to strict surveillance, then they are not enjoying basic, fundamental human rights. We urge the Council to reiterate its call on States to assist in the relocation of former defendants. Clearly, the Tribunals' four principals here with us today correctly gauge the weight of responsibility they bear, which involves not only steering the transition to the Mechanism but also, as they and we both know with certainty, to press forward the fight against impunity, even after the Tribunals have shut down, and to consolidate the lessons learned and the advances in jurisprudence acquired in the course of the Tribunals' work.”

  8. “Togo is prepared to work with other members of the Council, as well as other relevant United Nations bodies, to find flexible and comprehensive options for dealing with that problem - a problem that, if allowed to go on unsolved, could compromise the Tribunals' ability to complete their mandates on schedule. We believe that the collective experience of the Tribunals' principals here today, in their respective roles, will be crucial to ensuring a successful transition to the Residual Mechanism, as well as the success of the Mechanism itself. We strongly support President Joensen's untiring commitment to the relocation of those who have served their sentences or have been found innocent, because, beyond the logistics of relocating them, there are also human rights issues at stake.”

  9. “Togo calls on all States involved to redouble their efforts in those areas, so as to achieve the completion of the Tribunals" mandates and ensure a solid start for the Residual Mechanism, which is to begin operations in Arusha on 1 July. The Tribunals have had mixed success in transferring defendants to national courts and jurisdictions. Togo commends the ICTR for its recent progress in transferring cases to Rwanda and for its initiative in establishing a robust system for the oversight of cases transferred to national courts so as to guarantee that defendants receive fair trials. Togo also commends the Tribunals for working steadily towards completing their mandates, despite the difficulty they face in retaining personnel.”

  10. “Their briefings have informed us about past and future measures in meeting the administrative and judicial challenges of realizing their completion strategies. We applaud the progress made ahead of schedule by the ICTY on many cases on its judicial calendar, as well as the fact that the ICTR has completed nearly all of its cases at first instance. One of the Tribunals' main challenges lies in the issue of cooperation by States, without which they cannot perform their functions. I need not remind members of the importance of such cooperation in many arenas, including the arrest and transfer of defendants and the relocation of those acquitted or who have served their sentences.”

  11. “We welcome all four briefings from the principals of the two Tribunals, detailing the Tribunals' programmes and plans as they work towards the completion of their mandates, pursuing the fight against impunity for perpetrators of crimes as defined in the statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. We commend the Tribunals for concretizing their mandate completion strategies in many spheres, including investigation, trials at first instance and in appeal, the transfer of cases to national jurisdictions, witness protection, the preservation and dissemination of archives and managing the Tribunals' legacies.”

  12. “Mr. Afande (Togo) (spoke in French): The Togolese delegation would like first of all to join other delegations in thanking Judge Meron, President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), and Judge Joensen, President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), as well as Prosecutors Serge Brammertz and Hassan Bubacar Jallow, for their briefings on the work of the two Tribunals. We also congratulate Judge Meron on his appointment as President of the soon to be operational Residual Mechanism, as well as Prosecutor Jallow, who will become Prosecutor of the Mechanism.”
