  2. “Supporting the Court is therefore our common responsibility. Together we can ensure that justice is done and thereby contribute to a lasting peace in Libya. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I give the floor to the representative of Libya.”

  3. “That is also in the context of the latest report of the Independent Fact-Finding Mission for Libya, which cites reasonable grounds to believe that crimes against humanity have been committed against migrants and persons in detention centres. Thirdly, the mission of the ICC, the only permanent international criminal court, remains the priority for delivering justice, in Libya and elsewhere. However, in order for the Court to carry out its mandate of effectively, its independence and impartiality must be preserved, and it must be given the necessary human and financial resources. Switzerland calls on all States to support the Court. By referring the matter to the Court in its resolution 1970 (2011), the Security Council has shown its commitment to fight against impunity for the most serious crimes and to bring justice to the victims.”

  4. “We therefore strongly encourage the Libyan authorities to continue to cooperate fully with the Office of the Prosecutor, in particular with regard to access to necessary documentation or the prompt follow-up on requests for legal assistance. We support efforts to open a liaison office in Libya, in particular to deepen the partnership with the authorities, survivors and families of victims. We further commend the Office of the Prosecutor’s proactive policy of cooperation with third States, which has contributed to the arrest of a suspect in crimes against migrants. We highlight the important role of the United Arab Emirates and the Netherlands in that arrest and encourage all States to make use of the principle of universal jurisdiction which allows for the prosecution of the most serious international crimes.”

  5. “Civil society also has a crucial role to play, and we are deeply concerned about the increasing repressive measures imposed on civil society in Libya. We therefore note with interest the organization of a round table by the Office of the Prosecutor on the topic of gender-based persecution. We also welcome the fact that, despite the challenges posed by the complex political landscape and security situation in Libya, numerous field missions have been conducted. Those efforts, coupled with enhanced cooperation, have led to concrete results: the issuance of new sealed arrest warrants in the context of investigations in Libya is proof of that. Secondly, cooperation is key to the proper functioning of the Court.”

  6. “As co-Chair of the Working Group on International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights of the Berlin Process, Switzerland often interacts with victims who tell us again and again that Libya cannot have a lasting peace without justice. I would like to address three points. First, we commend the Office of the Prosecutor for the progress made in the implementation of the renewed action strategy for Libya, in particular the efficient allocation of resources coupled with the use of advanced technology in evidence management, as well as efforts to make justice accessible to victims. It is essential that the security of victims be ensured so that they can access the Court without hindrance, including within the country.”

  7. “I shall now make a statement as the representative of Switzerland. Switzerland thanks the Prosecutor and his team for his important briefing and for submitting the twenty- fifth report on the situation in Libya. We also welcome the presence of the Permanent Representative of Libya. “Impunity will not be tolerated.” Those were the words of Kofi Annan, then Secretary-General, when he welcomed the International Criminal Court (ICC). In Libya, accountability is not an abstract concept, it is a constant and legitimate demand expressed by the victims and an essential element for the success of the reconciliation process.”
