  1. “Finally, I join previous speakers in thanking Ambassador of Guatemala, Chair of the Informal Working Group on International Tribunals, and his entire team. Beyond his leadership of the Working Group, Ambassador Gert Rosenthal has been an unyielding and eloquent voice within the Council on the fight against impunity, the role of the Tribunals and the historical significance of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I now give the floor to the representative of Croatia.”

  2. “That is the case, for example, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and I take this opportunity to note that, two weeks ago, the Democratic Republic of the Congo undertook the arrest and transfer to The Hague of a suspect being sought by the International Criminal Court. That is an encouraging sign. I also note the Secretary-General's resolute policy on behalf justice and human rights, which excludes all contact with persons sought by the International Criminal Court. He has instructed his mediators not to consider amnesty or immunity for the perpetrators of serious crimes. He has done a great deal to reinforce the impact of international justice. We commend his activity in that regard along with that of Mr. Serpa Soares, Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs.”

  3. “We must ensure that the Mechanism is provided with sufficient resources to successfully complete that mission. The cooperation of all with the ICTR is an obligation pursuant to the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. It is important for the Council to remind everyone of that obligation. With respect to assistance for the Tribunal, the relocation of persons who have been acquitted or served their sentences remains a central concern. France was the first country to welcome a number of individuals to its territory at the request of the Tribunal. We hope that more States will accept such persons on their territory. The Tribunals have placed justice at the core of our concerns. The International Criminal Court, which is permanent and universal, has already taken up the pursuit ofjustice.”

  4. “In memory of the victims, and invoking our shared will, we hope to see the Great Lakes region emerge once and for all from violence. With respect to the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), I hope to be able to offer the Tribunal some good news concerning the two cases under French jurisdiction. Both Mr. Bucyibaruta and Mr. Munyeshyaka have been indicted, and the French authorities are devoting all their attention to the questions raised by the Tribunal on those procedures. Now that the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda is about to closing out its activities, we should remain vigilant. Three high-level fugitives - Fe'licien Kabuga, Augustin Bizimana and Protais Mpiranya - remain at large, and their arrest is a priority. They will be tried by the Residual Mechanism as soon as they are apprehended.”

  5. “But the historic agreement of 19 April between Serbia and Kosovo, achieved under the auspices of the European Union, creates a context that augurs well for the region's stability, the future of its people and the European outlook for both States. Political dialogue, justice and the fight against impunity should make it possible to definitively turn the page on the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. The ICTY is handling matters of great complexity, which accounts for delays in its schedule. We hope that the Tribunal will conclude its activities as quickly as possible, while ensuring that nothing undermines its capacity to render justice. The year 2014 will mark the twentieth anniversary of one of the darkest periods in our collective history, the Rwandan genocide.”

  6. “I shall now make a statement in my national capacity. I thank Presidents Meron and Joensen and Prosecutors J allow and Brammetz for their statements. This year, we celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 827 (1993), on the creation of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Political dialogue in the region continues to advance under the auspices of the European Union. The Tribunal has played its full role in these developments. To be sure, all is not ideal. Prosecutor Brammertz referred earlier to missing persons. The political rhetoric, the denial of certain crimes, and the lack of regional cooperation in bringing mid-level criminals to justice remain matters of concern.”

  7. “Members will now stand and observe a minute of silence. The members of the Security Council observed a minute ofsilence. The President (spoke in French): On behalf of the Council, I think we can all agree on the extent to which we share the sentiment expressed by Ambassador Perceval and her sadness at this news. In a certain way, our meeting is about the values that Nelson Mandela defended, which are the values of justice and reconciliation, which go hand in hand.”

  8. “I also wish to draw the attention of Council members to document S/2013/679, a letter dated 18 November 2013 from the President of the International Residual Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals addressed to the President of the Security Council. I now give the floor to Judge Meron.”

  9. “The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. I wish to draw the attention of Council members to documents S/2013/460 and S/2013/463, respectively containing the report of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the report of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. I wish to draw the attention of members to documents 8/2013/678 and 8/2013/663, respectively containing a letter dated 18 November 2013 from the President of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and a letter dated 13 November 2013 from the President of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda addressed to the President of the Security Council.”
