  1. “In conclusion, it is worrisome that the denial of crimes committed and of facts proven before various international tribunals continues. We reiterate our rejection of the glorification of war criminals who have already been tried and found guilty. Likewise, it is indispensable to present the new generations with truthful information about recent history, as well as about the work of the International Criminal Tribunals and the Mechanism. In 2021, there is no place for discourse that seeks to divide and incites hatred; it is necessary to make way for reconciliation, cohesion and inclusion.”

  2. “We call on the relevant authorities to intensify cooperation with the Mechanism in order to locate, apprehend and arrest these persons, so that they can be prosecuted and held accountable in the cases that remain pending. It is also of concern that the order for the accused to be transferred to the Mechanism in the case against Jojić and Radeta remains unfulfilled. Further, the most recent arrest warrants issued in this case, in 2019, remain unexecuted. Moreover, this non-compliance has already been reported to the Security Council on three occasions. We call for compliance with these orders and with the obligations under resolution 1966 (2010). Cooperation is essential for international justice to be effective, as well as to strengthen the rule of law.”

  3. “We underline the value of this outcome for international justice, in particular for the victims of the genocide perpetrated in Srebrenica and, in general, of the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Mexico takes note of the progress in the judicial functions of the Mechanism, and we remain attentive to the rulings in two other cases this month. We commend the work of the Mechanism team in making these results possible despite the constraints imposed by the pandemic. Similarly, we note the progress in the pre-trial stages in the Félicien Kabuga case. These developments are undoubtedly important contributions to accountability, and Mexico reiterates its support for the work of the Mechanism. We emphasize that locating, arresting and prosecuting persons who remain fugitives is one of the main priorities of the Mechanism.”

  4. “Mrs. Buenrostro Massieu (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): We thank the President of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, Judge Carmel Agius, and Prosecutor Serge Brammertz, for their briefings. We also welcome the President of Serbia, Mr. Aleksandar Vučić, and the Permanent Representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Rwanda, to the Security Council. We also express our heartfelt condolences for the loss of Judge Gberdao Gustave Kam. My country, Mexico, has carefully reviewed the eighteenth reports of the President and the Prosecutor of the Mechanism, and we note the significant progress reported therein. In this regard, we acknowledge the judgment announced today at The Hague in the Mladić case.”

  5. “In conclusion, as co-Chair of the Informal Expert Group on Women and Peace and Security, Mexico welcomes the support that UNOCA provided to Chad, Equatorial Guinea and Sao Tome and Principe in preparing their national plans of action in compliance with the provisions of resolution 1325 (2000).”

  6. “The joint work between UNOCA and ECCAS in favour of mediation and preventive diplomacy during the recent elections in countries of the region is an example of the potential for coordination between both organizations. Furthermore, we know that conflicts in the region are exacerbated by the activities of transnational networks involving illicit trafficking in arms and natural resources, as is evident in the case of the Central African Republic. These activities are a source of financing for armed groups and contribute to perpetuating the cycle of violence. That is why we believe that UNOCA could play a key role, in coordination with ECCAS, to develop regional responses to those challenges.”

  7. “The work of humanitarian teams is essential and requires the full support of the national authorities, especially in view of the increase in cases of forced displacement, the consequences of extreme natural phenomena and the coronavirus disease pandemic. In that regard, we reaffirm the importance of respecting and enforcing the rules of international humanitarian law. In terms of inter-agency coordination, I would like to acknowledge UNOCA’s work with other regional organizations, including the African Union and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). I welcome in particular the greater involvement of the latter organization in matters of peace and security, thanks to its institutional reform.”

  8. “My country, Mexico, therefore underlines the importance of implementing the Regional Stabilization, Recovery and Resilience Strategy for Areas Affected by Boko Haram in the Lake Chad Basin Region by finalizing and implementing the territorial action plans. Furthermore, we recognize as an important step forward the recent sentence issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Dominic Ongwen for war crimes and crimes against humanity in order that victims of the LRA can obtain justice. We call on all countries of the region to continue to cooperate with the ICC in cases under its jurisdiction. In view of the security challenges facing the region, Mexico strongly condemns the attacks noted in the Secretary-General’s report (S/2021/517) against humanitarian personnel and schools.”

  9. “As in other parts of the region, particularly Chad and the Central African Republic, an inclusive political dialogue is indispensable in Cameroon to identify and address the legitimate demands of the local population and isolate extremist elements that take advantage of the marginalized conditions in which some communities live in order to further their extremist agenda. One of the most serious security challenges facing the region is the activities of extremist groups, such as Boko Haram, in the Lake Chad area and Cameroon, as well as the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Those organizations remain a challenge to State institutions, an ongoing threat to the civilian population and a source of instability for the region.”

  10. “Mrs. Buenrostro Massieu (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): I thank Mr. Fall for his briefing on the activities of the United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa (UNOCA) and the situation in Central Africa. In a context marked by diverse and complex challenges to peace and security in Central Africa, Mexico believes it a priority that UNOCA should continue to exercise its good offices to contribute to the peaceful resolution of conflicts. Preventive diplomacy is particularly needed to address the situation in the North-West and South-West regions of Cameroon, where the civilian population is the most affected by the violence.”
